As you may know, I have been going through my pattern stash in order to use some of the many sewing patterns I have. Recently, I went back to McCall’s 7026 in order to make a new jacket with an old pattern. This is one that I’ve used before and has been a favorite.
I made View A for my new jacket. The fabric used is a stretch polar fleece that is very warm. This material is perfect for cold weather (it was 18 degrees outside when I took these pictures).
I was able to use a gold separating zipper that I had in my supply stash for this make. I bought the fabric from the Angela Wolf fabric stash sale. You have to be a member of her Fashion Sewing Club, which is a paid group. There is so much design information she shares and so much inspiration from other members that I definitely think it’s worth it. If you’re interested in this, you can check it out here: FSC.
Although the pattern isn’t available in print, it can be purchased in PDF form. I actually bought this in PDF so that I could have the larger size I needed. I only put together those pages that I needed to make this jacket.
Because of the style lines, it’s really princess-seamed athletic wear. That’s one of the reasons for the flattering silhouette.
Alterations
I did make a FBA (full bust adjustment) to this pattern . That gave me the room I wanted. I’m definitely happy with this new jacket from an old pattern!
What older patterns have you used lately?
