This is a little cropped blazer I’ve made last year. I used Burdas december issue, pattern ’#107. The velvet and the beaded epaulets remind me of a crossover of a tamer-jacket and something Michael Jackson would have worn.
I blogged about it here: katarinasellsseashells.blogspot.com/2010/10/zircus-meets-mj.html

Was für ein toller Blazer! So einen will ich auch, der Samt passt so gut zu diesem Schnitt. Großartig.

This is a beautiful jacket! Very edgy! You added so much “coolness” to this jacket by adding details like the lining with animal print and the embroidery!

Thanks, the lining is fun. I usually go for solid colors but this was actually a blouse from my mom that I’ve just sewn in. A very easy and time saving method.

What a beautiful jacket. I like the lining and the embellishments. I also really like the presentation in the first photo. I’ve never seen velvet look so nice.

Thank you, I just found out this weekend how to work with my image editing software. I plan on doing it this way all the time.

What’s the name of the software?

It’s called paint.net and (at least the german version) a freeware. It’s not too complicated and there are a ton of tutorials online.
