January Jacket Completed…Vogue 8758

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!

January Jacket Vogue 8758

I started this project about a week ago with the muslin I made. 


I chose this pattern because I thought it had interesting lines and details, but wouldn’t be a difficult project to make. I believe the pattern is out of print, but this is one of Vogues wardrobe patterns. 


I did make the dress here a couple of years ago. As far as the muslin is concerned, here’s a tip that might help someone: I always like to use different color thread for the top and bobbin. It just helps me to see if there was some problem I had during the construction that I might want to keep in mind when I make the garment. It also helps me use up any unusual-colored thread I might have purchased for a particular project that I’ll probably never need again. 

But here is the jacket so far… 



That’s ll for now. I hope to show you the finished garment soon!
