San Diego Jacket in Denim
This jacket is an attention-getter!
The style is uncomplicated and easy to fit. I love the way the collar frames my face. Denim is always popular, and wait until you see the embroidery on the back.
I bought the pattern at Distinctive Sewing Supplies with my own hard-earned money and I’m sew glad I did. I’m going to make another one, in a printed canvas. Here’s a link in case you want to buy one for yourself.
The embroidery design was purchased on-line at Anitagoodesign, here’s a link.
The San Diego Jacket pattern didn’t include pockets. I really, really need pockets, so I designed my own. I added the same unique button-loop as on the front of the jacket, then ordered buttons to cover. I embroidered flowers from the embroidery design and have unique buttons on my jacket.
I’ve been stopped by total strangers who wanted to know where I got my “awesome jacket”. It’s a great way of introducing people to the concept of sewing your own clothes. This jacket was really easy, and yet looks sew complicated.
Wonderful jacket! The buck appliqué is perfect. Love it.
Thanks Chris, I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
I could definitely see that in a floral fabric for spring.
I’ll be at the Creativfestival in Toronto this weekend, so I’ll keep my eyes open for a cheerful print.
What a beauty. Jacket looks good too. Love the embroidery. Nice job Yvette.
Thanks Brenda 🙂
