笔记 | Someone said this jacket was easy!!! I found it very difficult though it could have been my choice of fabrics. I made it twice and both jackets ended up great, but I lengthened the sleeves two inches on the second one. The first one I made with a brown suede fabric with black contrast ribbing. The second I used an upholstery tapestry. Crazy, I know. I used a sage green contrast rib. I think the rib is poor quality but it’s all I can buy locally at Spotlight in Taree, NSW, Australia. The tapestry fabric is very pretty and I managed to buy a matching green chunky zip of the right length. The arms are now a good length and I also took an inch out of the cuff length and they are now snug. The only problem I still have is the collar which flops. I have to wear a roll collar or turtleneck skivvy under it. Can anyone tell me if I should have used a stretch interfacing on the collar please. The collar on the suede prototype also flops but not as badly, probably because the fabric is not as heavy. Also, if I make it again I think it would be easier to cut the lining a couple of centimetres longer than the jacket. My 46 year old Elna TSP handled the job admirably. I used a walking foot to sew most of the jacket. It had no problem going through all the thick layers, just like a big, tough industrial machine (which it is not). Also because the tapestry fell apart and frayed as soon as I cut it I overlocked every single edge of every single piece before I started to sew. This was a great move and actually made the construction quicker and easier. I would like to try this pattern again now that I am becoming bolder. I thought I would substitute the main fabric for the rib. I don’t think it would make much difference because the Spotlight rib has no resilience once it stretches. But I’m wondering about the neck. I have read about a rectangular collar and how it stands straight up. Can anyone advise whether this would work please. I am not a trained sewist and trying to figure it all out as I go along. I love Lekala because most of the patterns fit well and I don’t have to alter them. |

Your fabric looks great, very distinctive and makes this jacket look rather special. We need another picture, I would love to see your choice of lining as well!

J'ai eu aussi le même probleme au niveau de la longueur des manches et j'avais diminuer la hauteur du col pour qu'il s'adapte mieux a mon cou
mais ce que vous fait est superbe j'aime beaucoup votre choix de tissu

Looks wonderful! Taree?? Wow, in the Lekala world that makes us neighbours - Spotlight Taree is a favourite haunt - love the clearance tables!
Congratulations on a wonderful job - certainly needed with the wind coming off the Barringtons in the last week. -
