This jacket was inspired by a leather jacket I saw in a
magazine--price tag $500. Well, if you are going to copy something,
don't go to a cheap outfit, right??
I used a heavy sueded cotton fabric. The designs are from a Pfaff disk, #382. I edited the designs to get the colors and look I wanted. The pattern is Vogue 7976, Today's Fit by Sandra Betzina. I did the top stitching with a 6.0 triple stitch with rayon thread. |

I have seen designs on jacket sleeves a lot lately in ready-to-wear, so I used a smaller design on each sleeve. I believe that since we can, we should go the extra mile (or stitch) in this case. This jacket pattern has a hip or below hip length. I prefer the hip length. | |
Don't forget the back! I almost always add something to the back. It may be a design over the shoulder from the front or a yoke design as shown here. Remember to make a statement as you leave--the same as when you enter!! |
