Description
I made this for my boyfriend as a birthday gift…. ok it was a belated birthday gift.
At any rate this is the AMIN pattern. Instead of using sweater material I went with a pinstripe cotton and a pirate print cotton.
The pattern came out a bit short and the pockets were really confusing. It may have been because I added a liner when the pattern didn’t call for one. I also bought pre-made wrist cuffs so that I didn’t have to sew my own.
Either way, here it is…. I will post better pictures when I get time to take some.
ENJOY!

Hi, do you think it came out shorter because of the material you used? I was thinking about making this in a different fabric too. Or maybe because you used a liner? Was that difficult as well? You can send me a PM if you see this.

Awesome jacket, he’s a lucky guy! The corduroy fabric was a nice choice, it works well. It’s nicely put together with the lining too, I really like it. You’re very creative, I look forward to seeing more of your creations.
