I’ve been wanting to make a jacket for awhile, but hadn’t gotten around to it. So, I figured this was the perfect time to go ahead and do it. I chose this particular pattern because I thought it had interesting lines and details. As far as the fabric was concerned, I chose a polyester poplin in “wine”.
In this picture, I’m actually wearing it with the dress from the same pattern that I made back in 2013. Here is a picture of that completed dress.
The jacket is quite easy to make if you take it step-by-step. It isn’t fully lined, only the sleeves are. But I also wanted to show it with jeans to show that it can be worn more casually as well.
The pattern is out-of-print at this time, but if you’ve got this or come across it, it might be worth getting. I really like this one!
Thanks Joy!
Very, very nice! I love the color and it looks so much like the pattern. I really like the dress, too, that you're wearing under the jacket–the two shades of color are so fresh and nice.
Thanks!
Your project turned out really well. Love the jacket and it looks great. You are right: it can go causal or a little more uptown!
Thanks Beth!
what a great look to brighten up a winter day. Very nice and I really like it with jeans, looks sharp.
