The raw edge is peaking out in a couple spots. Again, I wanted to see if it was possible! I was pretty successful, but any areas with an intersecting seam, like at the shoulder, it was nearly impossible to fold the fabric over. So luxurious!įor seam finishes, I decided to try for flat felled. I don’t mind this but I could see making another version with a nice rayon bemburg lining. This shacket is unlined and as a result it is a little scratchy inside. The back yoke and chest pockets are cut on the bias. I pattern matched the side seams of this jacket but I opted not to match the lower pockets so they would stand out a bit more on the front.
I am still debating whether to add buttons/buttonholes to them-what do you think? Turn it right side out and sew it to the shirt above the chest pockets, first pointing up and then folded down to sew it again and enclose the raw edges. I made my chest pockets oversized and so the pocket flaps are quite large but I’m into them! These are easy to add, it is just a square that has been folded and sewn with right sides together. The pocket flaps were also a nice addition. Add seam allowance and you’ve got your pocket! I then trimmed and adjusted the paper until I liked the final result. I just cut a shape out of paper and laid it on the jacket. I chose to make these quite large and shape them with an angled opening. It is nice to not have to carry a purse on walks. I love the additional front pockets at the waist! These are ideal for my phone, keys, and all the doggie treats I carry around. I ended up hand sewing the collar stand closed instead of topstitching and I had much more control that way. If using a lofty/bulky fabric like this, I would suggest sewing the sleeve placket and one side of the collar stand out of a lighter fabric. It was doable, but I will tell you that it was challenging.
Other than the changes listed above, I sewed Cameron as instructed! I really wanted to see if it was possible to sew the sleeve placket and collar stand with such a bulky fabric. Enlarged the chest pockets and squared off the bottom.Straightened out the hem (no side scoop).An 18 would have worked too, but I wanted room to layer my hoodie underneath. Sized up two sizes (instead of a 16, I made a 20).Here is a quick rundown of the changes I made to make this shacket:
