This jacket--so simple but so much fun to create and wear! This is a fast and easy sew and if you use the correct fabric, no hemming is required!
See what I mean? Here are the deets: This jacket has long sleeves with cute little ties, felled seams and a wide, floaty collar. You can choose to put buttons/snaps at the front.
This pattern calls for a stable knit or a fabric that doesn't require hemming. I had a beautiful faux suede that my Daughter-in-law purchased from Mood. This is such lovely stuff to work with! I really love the color as well. It just screams fall/winter to me.
I made just a couple of alterations, mainly to adjust for a non-stretch fabric. I lengthened the bust curve and added a bit across the shoulders. I also added to the sleeve tabs as they seemed rather short to me.
That's it! This whips up quickly. I can see making this in a ponte--a suggested fabric. I can also see making one for spring/summer in a white or light colored ponte with short or 3/4 sleeves.
I also made the tee that I am wearing underneath the jacket. This fabric was from my stash. It isn't the best quality (JoAnn's is printed on the selvage) but the colors work. I used the Jalie newest Tee for it.
Thanks for reading!
