Looking Good Jacket by MacPhee Workshop |
Every few sewing projects need to be easy to keep some variety in your sewing life. This is one of those simple projects and I love the results.
Pattern: Looking Good Jacket by MacPhee Workshop
Fabric: black bamboo jersey knit
Lessons learned:
This is a great fitting pattern.
With a ravel-free knit, you don't even have to finish all the hems!
You only need your serger to make the whole jacket.
I used my coverstitch machine and was not super pleased with the stitching over a few layers of thin knit. It would be better to self-line the jacket and save the topstitching.
It takes a fair amount of fabric to make the circles for the flounces, but they look great.
After making it the first time, it would take me about 2 hours tops to make another.
True to its title, it is a Good Looking Jacket!
