Burda Style For people who sew
Description
i love doing jackets because you get so much use out of them, somehow i can’t quite change the patterns a whole bunch yet to make it completely mine. the only thing i really changed was the length – the original pattern is much shorter. i almost didn’t have enough fabric, so the cutting out almost made me lose my mind (the fabric being plaid didn’t help much…). i really like this one, i learned a bunch of things, never done that style collar before nor bound buttonholes and pockets. the pattern is from bwof 01/09.
Material Notes
almost flannelly plaid cotton from the oilily outlet in alkmaar, fleece lining from joann’s.

The buttons are my favourite part. I love how consistently different they are from the rest of the jacket.

I love plaid! I have a jacket similar to this that my mom bought me for Christmas, but it’s too dark and the arms are too short! I love your version!

Looks really great. The bias binding is brilliant. Great color combination. Did you use regular fleece for the lining?

Wow, I was sort of so-so on this jacket but I LOVE it in the longer length! I may need to make one now. and I’m totally impressed with your plaid matching abilities!

Totally fabulous. I love all the bits with the plaid on the bias, that kind of contrast work gets me every time!
