Lets get to the details now:
Pattern: Butterick 5395 ( OOP now, but available on Butterick's website)
Size: I cut the 14 without any alterations
Outer Fabric: I believe it was some sort of poly blend suiting from Goodwill. $2
Lining Fabric: Crisp white taffeta lining from fabric .com. I think the piece was $3, but I also cut the lining for a skirt from it.
Notions: Four, 1" buttons and one package of bias tape (to finish the inside seams)
Directions: I found the directions to be really good for this pattern. I have never made, nor lined a jacket before, and the directions made it very doable.
Overall Conclusion: I am quite happy that I pressed forward with this jacket. I am considering making a bright red skirt to pair it with to make it a bit more youthful.
Yay! It's always nice to get something completed.
ReplyDeleteCute! I think the idea of pairing it with a bright skirt could look really good. Very exciting to finish something, especially when it is something complicated like a jacket.
ReplyDeleteReally cute jacket. Your jacket look better than the one on the model.
