Finished - Blue Striped Jacket

It's important to sew things you can get a lot of wear out of. So when you live somewhere that's almost never warm than means things with sleeves. I made this same pattern in yellow stripes to practice before trying it out in this fabric which I really liked. The thickness and the texture were perfect for a warm jacket.

I was a little bit conflicted at first on how it turned out. I was a bit taken aback because I thought it looked a bit much like a bathrobe. But with time and wear I've gotten over it and really liked the end result.

Finished - Yellow Striped Jacket

I still have quite a few pieces I haven't gotten around to posting on the blog. The goal is to get them up before the New Year. So first on the list is this striped jacket. At the time I bought a fabric that I wanted to make a kimono wrap like jacket but I wanted to try the idea out first in something else. I had this yellow fabric laying around so I decided to try the jacket idea out first.

Considering it's cold outside longer than it's warm, the more jackets/long-sleeves the better. This jacket turned out better than I expected it to be. I decided very quickly after sewing this beaut up I would get right on sewing another up!
