Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The spring of 2011 the Army Jacket came out strong. It was available with most of the high street chains as well as top designer fashion. My take on this classic garment comes with a twist and is the Army Jacket I could find nowhere to buy.
Material Notes
I’ve used a BurdaStyle pattern but have modified the collar for a traditional look. 100% cotton Furnishing Fabric from Tygverket. Lining in Polyester. Snap buttons.

I like it. It’s a different take on the popular military styles we’ve been seeing everywhere. The yellow lining is great too. Well done!

I’m imprssed with your cleverness to make the choice to update Army jacket style. The flower print is feminine but the muted background color grounds grounds it. The lining fabric and bright yellow color is unexpected and whimiscal. Well done!
