Description
The moment I saw this jacket I wanted one! I did it together with my mom, because she has a lot of experience with sewing and this was my first attempt in sewing and I was afraid I’ll ruin it :D The sleeves could’ve been a little bit longer (next time I’ll lenghten the pattern) and the arm wholes are a little bit too big I think, because we cut out size 40 (which should’ve been the right size after measuring), but had to take away a lot of fabric.
But I’m totally confident with it and have to thank my mom a lot, alone it would have been a lot more difficult.
I love this jacket and my matching Alexis skirt :)

I love your jacket and skirt! You look like a cool and classy Oxford Student from the 40s who is musing about poetry on a country side walk! I love the look! I was planning to sew the Steffi jackat with matching skirt as well, because I found really nice and cheap wool fabric, but I have never done a jacket before and now I’m a little afraid of the two missing instruction pages…hmmm…I guess I’ll try it anyways…

a beautiful outfit. The material is great. Quite an accomplishment for a first project even with help. The jacket, material, and colors look great on you. Well done!

Thanks at all for your nice comments :)
peaudane: There I have to say thanks again to my mom, she knows the way to sew jackets, so we didn’t need the instructions.

Both the jacket and the skirt are really great, and they look even better together. Well done!
