...Butterick 5616 cropped jean jacket that is. Took a bit longer than I anticipated but then again so does everything I make. It's just as I envisioned and I am happy with it.
This is one thing that I can mark off the list. Later I'd really like to have one in black after I find black denim online because there's none in my area. Nothing pressing though so I have plenty of time to do a little search.
MY MOTHER: Did you finish your jacket?
ME: After fixing a couple of operator errors, yes I did! And I didn't even cry and whine when making this jacket - did I?
MY MOTHER: No you didn't and I am so surprised!
ME: Yeah, I'm really trying to work on that...
Now to decide on my next project - something new coming up soon...
Very nice, kudos for making a rtw-looking project but undoubtedly better!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cherie. The topstitching detail was actually fun.
DeleteGreat jacket and I am sure you will get so much wear out of it. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sheila!
DeleteJacket looks really great. Is the fir what you hoped when you wear it?
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruthie! Yes I like the fit. I went with size 16 through the neckline, shoulders and chest area according to the pattern's sizing for my bust measurement; but tapered out to a 18 in the side seams. I did end up taking the side seams in so I really could have gone with a straight size 16.
DeleteI'll bet you are gonna love this!! So versatile!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Linda!
DeleteYou are going to wear this all the time! I agree with Linda, very versatile!
ReplyDeleteThank you Merche!

ReplyDeleteThe jacket looks wonderful, you should feel very proud! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tany!
DeleteIt looks SO GOOD Faye! Is it stretch white denim or no-stretch? I want to make the Jacket Express jacket from Janet Pray's Craftsy class, but she says to use non-stretch denim and I cannot find non-stretch denim in red that is the right weight and doesn't look like it came from a kindergarten class!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The denim that I used does have stretch Kyle.
DeleteVery Nice!
