Jacket Pattern for Corduroy found some fabric I love, what to do with it
LindaO   Advanced Beginner WI USA Member since 8/21/04 Posts: 29	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/26/11 1:13 PM I just found some fabulous coral corduroy, fairly wide rib at the wonderful Gayfeather Fabrics. I would like to make a simple (i.e. not very tailored) jacket with it and need some pattern suggestions. I usually use independent patterns. I have small shoulders compared to the rest of me, so maybe no raglan sleeves. Ideas?

There was recently a thread on doing the fringe, if you can't find a pattern designed for that technique. ------ ~Gem in the prairie

(Though probably as much for the printed cordoroy as for the sewing work.) I used a vintage pattern, but stylistically it's very similar to B5144 (loose-fitting, somewhat wide sleeves, no fastenings.)

I really like both jackets in 2154-- very retro looking! One is only for stretch knits though, but the other looks like it would be fine for a woven.

Looks cozy and fun to wear. ------ Patti R-r-r-ripping my way to fitting success

I've got a similar RTW jacket that I wear all the time. I haven't made it up yet so I can't say what the instructions/drafting/final product are like but I'm hoping that it'll be a good pattern. I mention it because you said you like using independent pattern companies and also because it's on special offer at the moment!
