You know how it will look, fit, and you know how to sew the tricky bits.<br />My fabric choice? I'm embarrassed to admit it but I have burgundy velveteen in my stash for over 40 years that is still in great shape. It was suppose to be a jacket for my brother but...my sewing ability at the time wasn't up to the task (he got something else so I don't feel guilty!).

The denim you used for the first jacket is so me!!!! I know I might not be able to find that exact fabric but if I win one of the patterns, I'll give it a good try. I have been a follower of your blog from its beginning; having followed her on Stitcher's Guild way back when. The evolution of your sewing "chops" is amazing. You are a genius at pattern manipulation and having you share these journeys with us is priceless. Thank you so much.<br />Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644772042941988136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1705956766956201232019-02-20T17:05:43.842-05:002019-02-20T17:05:43.842-05:00I have been admiring this jacket and would like to...I have been admiring this jacket and would like to make one.
