According to the notes in my sketch book I had decided that this jacket will be cut in a wool Ponti (double knit). Unfortunately wool ponti is hard enough to come by at all, let alone in these colours. It would also be fantastic in a sports fleece which is more likely to come in a variety of colours. Use your overlocker and contrast thread to make a 'seam cover' style hem to show through the facing shape. I also love the idea of the collar facing and hem facing being cut in a contrast colour.
Enjoy :)
Great fun!!I think I am going to give this draft a try as I think the jacket is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis jacket has beautiful lines to it - thanks for taking the time to de-puzzle it out ... J
ReplyDeleteThanks Judith. These pattern puzzles are taking on a life of their own. Readers are now interested in trying them out so I am working through step-by-step detail and posting my progress.

Do you sew or make your own patterns?
