I just love this jacket pattern. Check out the buttons set in between the body and that outer strip. On the collarless one, I can see using a contrasting fabric for that strip and continuing it around the bottom back. But then again I really like the plaid with matching belt.
I think this dress is really interesting, especially view B, the solid black one. Look down at the blackline to figure out what it's doing. This is for a knit.
They have others that I think are nice, but with a pattern collection as big as mine, I have to find it really special to buy it.I'll be posting a really cute black jacket in a day or two. Stay tuned...
you know, i actually had my eye on that same jacket pattern, i'd be very very interested to see what you do with it! I've never made anything with either sleeves or a collar before now, and a friend gave me a coat pattern to make up (Burda 7886), so i'm doing that, a shirt (Butterick B4659) and a waistcoat (Mccalls M5186) before i try anything like that jacket, i don't want to waste money on a pattern that's just too adventurous for me. I also have to consider whether that jacket will suit me, i think it will, as i'm an hourglass, but i'm also a BBW so its not always that simple (and i'd have to do a FBA, which is.. argh!)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, do keep us informed on that jacket.. can't wait to see the new black jacket..

These are 2 amazing patterns! McCalls has really stepped it up lately! If you're looking for a dressy solid knit, check out www.voguefabrics.com and look at the couture jersey, I'm considering it for my next dressy dress!
ReplyDeleteThose are two great patterns! I am WAITING for them to get to my local Hancock lol
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks very much, for I completely overlooked this coat/jacket pattern. What a cutie!
