Description

I had been wanting a rider’s jacket for a while, so when Larissa came out I was so excited!

I had to try it.

Somehow I managed to find some time to sew in between feeding and changing a newborn, which is every couple hours or less. The whole thing took me like a week because I also made some mistakes, and had to adjust things.

I lengthened bodice, and shortened the sleeves. Also, had to take in the shoulders a bit.

I really wanted the jacket, but I don’t know if I like it on me… don’t think it looks that great on me… :(

It might have looked better if I used stiffer fabric… ?

Material Notes

don’t know exactly what they are…

outer: jersey like fabric

inner: flannel like stretchy fabric

    I really like the changes you made, particularly with the length. I find the original too wide and boxy for the heavy fabric. I think the added length balances it out nicely..

    I think you did a beautiful job. I like the quilted material you used. I think it fits you well, don’t change a thing.

    I think it looks fantastic. I know what its like to try to find the time to sew when you have a new baby, very hard to do!
