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.
