i used Emily shirt pattern as a base for this. it ended up too big for me, but its ok..
i saw a smilar jacket in japanese magazine, and really wanted it, so i kind of made this up.
stretch knit

I really like it, it looks fabulous. And I don’t think it’s too large on you, look at the fashion magazines there are lots of wider jackets at the moment.

I love it! this is just the sort of jacket pattern I’ve been looking for. Well done for creating it without a pattern, You did an amazing job.

I would never guess it was the emily. Great job on tweaking the pattern. I really like this! It looks comfortable and the color is wonderful!

Oh, an idea from a Japanese magazine… I would die for a good Japanese magazine – lucky you! The coat is great and it suits your complexion!

It’s lovely. That’s a very creative use of Emily.

It’s gorgeous. If the fit is a little big it can just be your ‘comfy jacket’ :o)
