Description

The latest pattern by Tasia from Sewaholic, a jacket with gathered neckline and raglan sleeves, front zipper, and an optional secret hood hidden inside the wide collar. The waist is elasticized, making the overall look slim and comfortable. There are also a couple of patch pockets on the lining side with velcro closure for small tidbits. I was fortunate to be one of the pattern testers who can have a try-out weeks before its release.

I made it in size 2, the outer fabric is cotton camvas and the lining is Indonesian cotton batik. Other than my usual shortening the bodice and sleeves about 3-4 cm, I didn’t make any alterations. The instructions are very clear with helpful diagrams, so it came up pretty quickly.

It is too bad that one can not have too many jackets in the same pattern, because I really love this jacket. But I would like to make it again in water resistant fabric for rainy season next year. I would add side seam pockets to my next jacket though, because I love walking around with hands buried in pockets!

    Great look and practical. Your detail in your work is simply beautiful, as usual! This would also be gorgeous in one of Amy Butler’s laminated fabrics.
