Hi Lara Wonderful jacket! I am actually sewing this jacket now - and for some peculiar reason I have trouble with the collar. I have also lost the magazine (how did that happen?) so I have no help in either instructions or pattern layout. I have cut the undercollar on the bias and am considering cutting the overcollar on the bias too . Did you have any problems with bunching of the overcollar at center back?

This jacket is adorable. I like the slight Retro touch of it. Yours turned out great and the color is very nice!

Very cute. You should probably just shorten the sleeves, so they're at a less ankward length. And then buy/knit nice long gloves :-).

Very cute. Congratulations on a lovely first jacket. The work you put in with this does show and I wouldn't have guessed it was a first jacket. It does look really good. As fuzzygalore suggests, maybe shorten the sleeves and wear long gloves?

This came out so well! Congratulations. Although I am short with proportionally short arms, Burda Magazine jackets' sleeves are never long enough for me either--at least you're not alone!

Great looking first jacket!! I love that design and yours turned out very nice.

thanks everyone! @Marie Norway: no, no problems with the collar bunching in the back. Problems I have are: too much bulk where collar and front edge meet (should have trimmed more), and I cut the collar as per magazine layout (on the straight grain for both over- and undercollar), and cut both the same size. I would have been wiser to cut the upper collar larger, as the second problem is with the undersides of the collar curling up a bit around the round sides of the collar (but not in the back). Hope this helps.

Very, very nice. The color, the buttons etc.
