Version 2: Chambray
Fabric Used: Chambray

Pattern Description: Jacket

Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 10

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did. I think this denim friendly version looked more like the pattern envelope than the Lace version.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, very easy. I wrote a Picture Tutorial for my binding technique and a Picture Tutorial for matching pockets.

Binding with Perfection

Perfectly Matched Pockets

Lovely--and I now understand what fussy cut means. Love that reverse binding finish you did with the ribbon from JAF. The hearts at CB seam are pure serendipity. I guess by rigid lace, it means there is no stretch. Do you happen to remember where you purchased the lace? Online, I'm hoping! Love it.

Thank you All for the nice remarks! Renren: This lace was a sample cut from when I worked as a textile designer/drafter. I'm sorry I wouldn't know where to look to find it.

I absolutely love the fabric but it's the symmetrical placement of the design on the lace that makes it amazing!

The lining up of the stripes is perfect and especially so on the binding!

This is gorgeous! I have this pattern, but can't figure out which material to use first. I would love to make one in Eyelet lace for Easter, hoping it is warm enough!

Both jackets turned out very nicely. The lavender lace is my favorite, and your hearts in the back are adorable!

This review really shows off the versatility of this simple pattern. Love both of your versions. Inspires me to make something similar for myself. Best of luck in the contest. Congratulations on your great entry.
