Love It Love It Love It! I already have the perfect fabrics for this adorable EVA blazer! Thanks BurdaStyle you have made my Monday once again!!!

This is a nice style for petite women and I love the neckline but again, the pattern only comes in larger sizes than I need :(

What is horsehair and what does it do?

very nice!! yes please explain horsehair!! And, if possible, a tutorial on the sewing of the collar part would be very very much appreciated! I just finished a similar jacket and the collar did not turn out so well. :)

Horsehair is a woven material that you can find at better notion stores. It is either made out of real horse hair or a substitute and is put into the collar of the jacket and ironed on with interfacing. It makes the collar stand up nicely and helps to have crisp edges. It should not be confused with the plastic horsehair, that comes on a roll in different width which is diagonally woven. Best is to ask your local store for a material like horse hair that gives support to a collar in case they don't carry horse hair

Beautiful, thank you very much! Zora: Elainemay has posted a tutorial that one can use to reduce a multisized pattern.

Love it, LOVE IT! This is definitely a MUST for my fall wardrobe, thanks a lot Benedikta ;)

ooh, I'm loving the jacket - the red buttons really bring out that red thread in the tartan. (and I think this model lady is my favourite of your recent ones, too!)

Okay, what are the chances of a new beginner being able to make this? I'm taking a class now where we're making an elastic waist skirt. I'll be taken a class in November where we'll make a structured skirt with a zipper. Any chance I can do this in December, or is it just a pipe dream?

Glad to hear that you all like the model.... Ednaw, I would best ask your teacher of you are ready to do it. She will know by then if what your capabilities and your level of patience :) when it comes to sewing is...We would love to teach you anytime how to do this jacket!

Hi. We've posted a Tutorial for sewing the collar of the Eva jacket here. Can't wait to see everyone's Eva's!

Benedikta,

I tried to send this to you as a pm, but the system is doing some strange stuff, so I'll post here.

Thanks for your response about whether a beginner can sew this jacket. When you wrote, "We would love to teach you anytime how to do this jacket!", I was happy and a bit confused as to what exactly that means. I'm new to your site and I'm a little unclear as to all it has to offer. If you could clarify a few things for me, I'd be grateful.

I love this site! I'm completely new to sewing and I can't wait to make some of these pieces.

Thank you! Edna

Hi Ednaw, I actually meant, if I were your teacher I would love to teach you right away..We have a sewing lesson in Brooklyn every Tuesday, but that is obviously a bit far fetched. What I also meant is that we have many tutorials in the how to section that can help you if you ever do not understand something and the forums are here for you to ask questions to all your fellow members regarding sewing issues. I do think that as a first project it is a bit ambitious to make a jacket, since you may have to get used to the language and how to assemble things, but it won't be too long and you can pretty much do anything on this site..
