My boss asked me to make up a jacket from one of the patterns we have at work. Looking at most of them they seemed more suited for my former mother-in-law than someone of my tender *cough* years but I finally settled on this pattern. The As You Wish Jacket. I'm making the orange one with 3/4 sleeves.
Here's the main fabric I chose to make it with. I love the depth of the color and the slight glint of metalic from the copper. The pattern uses high quality cotton for both the main and lining fabric.
I had a lining picked out but the more I look at it the less I like it so I'm holding off on finishing it. The pattern has been super easy to put together though, it's a very simple cut and sew. I love instant gratification projects!
You have three options for the jacket hem,, the two shown on the pattern as well as a straight edge. I preferred the curved, my hips don't need a harsh line anywhere near them. Then you can do either full length sleeves or 3/4. My plan is to purchase or make some pretty frog closures for the front.
I'm looking forward to finding the right lining fabric so I can finish it.
