Buckle up! Lots of photos today.
This is the "Faux Suede Jacket" from the August 2017 issue of BurdaStyle Magazine. You can download it from the website now, though. I saw this jacket on a blog's review of the magazine and I got a wee bit obsessed... so much so that I ordered the magazine from England (very reasonable price and shipping) and then traced and graded down 3 sizes since this is a "plus" pattern. So worth it.
The fabric is a faux suede from Sawyer Brook. The color is a dark olive drab that occasionally reads a little brown.It was a dream to sew and shows the top-stitching beautifully. Lining, zippers, snaps, and shoulder pads are all from JoAnn Fabrics.
Even the back has nice seaming details.
Here are some details shots.
I am so pleased with how this turned out. I have nothing like it in my wardrobe. It's the perfect fall jacket.
Nice job, Jenny!! Love the details & it looks fab on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Molly!
DeleteLooks fantastic. I really love the colour on you. Such a great fit too, no wonder you are pleased!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteAmazing amount of top stitching detail ! Very good color . Love the zipper details.
ReplyDeleteI do love me some top stitching and metal.
DeleteThis looks like a lot of work, but well worth it. It's a great jacket, Jenny! Are you enjoying the turn your wardrobe is taking now that your climate has changed? I think it will be a great adventure!
ReplyDeleteSo much work and so worth it! I am loving the fall, but I definitely have to remember not to complain of the cold to my husband since I campaigned hard for the move. Ha!
DeleteI just noticed this pattern the other day and fell in love with the details! I am only 1 size from their plus so I may have to make a go of it :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! You did an amazing job sewing it too.
Yes! It's an awesome pattern.
DeleteSo very nice! And you get a real fall to wear it!! Do you have matching boots?! If not, shopping is definitely in order!!
ReplyDeleteNot "matching" per se, but definitely coordinating!
Deletegreat job on the grading and the details! This looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The grading gave me some nerves, because of course I didn't make a muslin, but all turned out ok.
DeleteThis jacket is awesome!!!! You look fabulous in it, and it is sewn so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vanessa!
