I was so excited to be able to test again for Sinclair Patterns! I am so smitten with the designs, fit, styles, etc.
Here's the Alba Jacket.
I just love that asymmetrical zipper! Those pockets! That collar! This is my second version and probably my favorite because of my fabric choices. The main body is a scuba knit from JoAnns that I have had for quite a while. Glad I saved it for this as I think it makes a fun jacket! The mustard that you can see is from Sly Fox Fabrics. I just love this color and this fabric! It's a double brushed poly that feels like butter! The ribbed knit has been in my stash so long, I have no idea where I purchased it. Does that happen to anyone else?
I made this twice and the fit changes were very slight from version 1 to 2. One of the changes to the pattern that I was very pleased about is the top-stitching of the pockets. If you made the version with the pockets, you'll want to top-stitch so they don't flop around.
If I make this again, and I most likely will, I'll interface the facing/lining portions, especially when there is a big difference in weights of my chosen fabrics. This scuba is hefty while the DBP is almost a mid-weight.
Since I love the mustard color peeking out so much, I will most likely wear this with it unzipped a bit. You would too, right?
Here's the back. It's rather plain design-wise, which is just fine!
One more view!
This was my first version. For this one, I again used a scuba, but this one was a lighter weight.
The contrast bands are double-brushed poly from Sly Fox Fabrics. I used the same fabric for the lining and facings as I did the body.
While I love both, I am quite smitten with the gray/mustard/white. There's just something about that fabric that makes me smile.
