Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this jacket a few weeks ago as a homage to the Chanel Jacket. Now I know it’s much more basic than the Chanel Jacket but I was inspired by it and therefore I’m entitled to say that it is a homage.
I still can’t believe it, but I drafted the pattern myself! I used my own bodice pattern and it took quite some time because I wanted to make sure I did it right.
This fabric was a NIGHTMARE, I don’t think you can tell from the pictures, but it’s so loosly woven I really think that the employee at the store I bought it from sat a wove the fabric from black and white string. It was silly of my not to take this into account, the only think I did to manage the stretchiness and shapless-ness of the fabric was stay stitch EVERYTHING. Oh well, I guess you learn from your mistakes, right?
Anyway, I’m really happy with this! if you want to read more about the project you can check out my blog post

Thanks! It’s kind of difficult to wear since it’s patterned, but I love it!
