I like your version, seeing finished garments of this pattern encourage me to make my own crossover blazer. Did you use snap buttons instead of this complicated buttonholes of the description?

Hey Melongrowergirl I did actually use the buttons but I found the instructions a little confusing as it seemed to have something about adding the buttons at the start. I just waited till I was completely finished the jacket and then added them at the end. Might not have been as neat but it worked out better. Snaps would work well though too!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes :) Yea I couldn’t wait to try this one out and I am glad I did. I have already cut out the 02/2011 Plaid Jacket for my next project I just have to get my head around the binding hehe. But I hope this version was helpful anyway!!

This looks great! Been eyeing the pattern for a while now, but I think you’ve persuaded me!
