Burda 04-2009 #116 Cropped Jacket

Okay, finally a garment to post! It seems like I've been working on this forever. It hasn't been that long and I haven't really worked on it that much. I've just been so busy with school, family, and everything else. Here's the line drawing and a model photo.



I know these photos are not very good. The light wasn't the best this morning. I will get better photos with details of everything. I love looking at the "guts" of your outfits so I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that you'll like looking at my guts. I like it best buttoned up. The top pockets are faux pockets but the bottom two are functional.


I took about an inch out of each side piece above my butt. I still need to give this a good pressing. Some of the ripple in the hem will go away when I do that.


I don't think it's nearly as cute with the buttons undone. I really like the color and the weight of the fabric. This will be a good chilly-morning jacket. I'll do a proper PR review tomorrow when I get better pictures.


Next up: A simple knit tank from Ottobre. I will finish this mini-wardrobe.

    Looks pretty good, I thought you decided Ottobre was not for you some time ago??? Have you changed your mind since? Good luck on finishing the MiniSWAP on time!

    I really like this pattern too, I'm glad to see it done, it looks really good, I like your fabric and the color. I can't wait to try it. I was planning to do the one with no pockets (the one in the wedding section). But I like it with pockets too.

    I heart that pattern madly and wouldn't you know, this is the one issue BWOF failed to send me. (They added a month to my subscription to compensate.) Very cute jacket on you.

    Great jacket! I bet you get tons of wear out of this one.
