Description

Butterick 4792

Here is my version of Butterick 4792. I decided not to line the entire thing with funky fabric, but instead bound the facing seams with a striped binding strip that was leftover from another jacket I made.

My favorite thing is the bow in the back! I haven’t chosen buttons that I like yet so for now it remains buttonless.

This is super super duper easy! I will likely make it again but I would lengthen it first.

    Love it! I don’t think you should add buttons, it will take away the attention from the jacket itself. It’s so clean now! Just add those little snaps that you often have in fur-designs and sush!! :)

      Snaps are a great idea! I have tons that I inherited from my grandmother. (I’m not sure why she had bucket loads of these, but I suspect she hated sewing button holes!) Thanks!
