Pattern Description: loose-fitting jacket

Pattern Sizing: Pattern comes in 12-24, I made mine way smaller than a 12

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Sort of. I left off the sleeves

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The asymetrical collar

Fabric Used: Cotton homedec from IKEA

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: This pattern was huge! So I folded out a total of 4 inches from the size 12 ( I normally use a 14 and do an FBA). I added a diagonal dart from below the bust toward the hip. I was able to remove the gaping at the front armhole by closing a dart there and rotating the difference into the lower dart. I left off the sleeves and used a bias binding on the armholes. I incorporated the buttonhole into the collar seam.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes. And yes, but be mindful of enormous amount of ease in this pattern.

Conclusion: This vest was made with one of my most precious fabrics from my stash and I'm super happy with how it turned out. I am so glad I read the other reviews about this pattern!!

	miausiau said... Thanks for letting us know about the excess ease...this is just the sort of pattern I'm likely to try. A good vest is always a great way to use a special fabric if you can find one you like. 12/27/12 11:32 PM

	lindaII said... Your fabric, and execution, are outstanding! And that button...bet you had that long before the fabric? Looks like they were made for each other. Great job (I also loved your "muslin"). 12/28/12 11:53 AM
	Leslie Bonner said... Had to look at your blog to see how stunning the fabric is up close. I have this pattern so it's nice to know how oversized pattern is. The vest is beautiful. 12/30/12 9:15 AM
