I have finally got around to making myself a version of the Stacker Jacket.
This cropped boxy jacket pattern from Papercut Patterns has been around for a few years now.
It wasn't until I made my daughter her version, that I realised how much I like it and how versatile it would be to have a casual jacket that wasn't denim.
Mine is made from a charcoal corduroy, with a black lining. The under collar is lined in a lightweight denim, so that it helps to lessen the bulk in the seams. The instructions are nice and clear, and there is a video tutorial for most steps too. One little mishap occurred, when I gut a great big gash in my lining as I was trimming seams, thankfully I had enough lining fabric scraps to cut a replacement piece. I'm very pleased with my mitered corner seams too.
I'm looking forward to wearing this.
Your wardrobe is filling up with your creations, nice job. Your hair is looking fabulous!
