I've now made two jackets using Vogue pattern V8232. The jacket is unlined with no closures. It's very easy to make and a current style. The dress is a good pattern too, very classy.I made the first one about a year ago from a plain black cotton.
I made this second jacket from a vintage fabric I picked up at the thrift store. The fabric was already cut in pieces and I had to be pretty tricky to make it work, especially because it's a plaid. For this jacket, I shortened the sleeves and lengthened the body. I haven't worn the jacket yet. I need to figure out an outfit for it but hopefully I will soon.
What a great thrift store find, and a nice jacket :)
ReplyDeleteI love the plaid jacket. I would wear it with black or dark blue slim fit jeans and a white t-shirt. Maybe some black slacks if I want to make it a little more business casual.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love it! especially the plaid!
