My Next Vogue Jacket

I am lining up my Fall sewing projects. (Yes, Adrienne...I did say the word Fall). I plan on trying out some new jacket patterns as well as sewing some knit tops. I can't believe it has been over a year since I made a knit top. That means my other sewing machine has been idle. Shame on me.

When the new Fall Vogue Patterns came out (a few posts back...early July), this pattern caught my eye. I love the style, cropped, kimono looking sleeves, and one buttonhole. This jacket is also lined. At the moment, I am torn between View A and B (both with the shawl collar...black and green jacket). View A is with the shorter sleeve.

I traced out a size 10. The finished bust is around 38 inches. This should fit me without any alterations. Now, all I need to do is select the fabrics: jacket and lining and one gorgeous button. The recommended fabrics for this pattern is lightweight woolens, lightweight denim and lightweight jersey. I pulled out two fabrics from my stash. One is a brown/black/burgundy cotton print and the other is a brown/silver/black polyester print. I might end up using both fabrics and sew up both view A and B. I love it when a plan comes together.

All I need to do is find some lining. I was hoping that G-Street would have a sale this month. Since I have the two Butterick jackets to sew, I can put this Vogue jacket on hold for another week or so until G-Street has their Labor Day sale.

My 1 yard of brocade from EOS came in the mail today. I enjoy doing puzzles, so I'm looking forward to laying out my Butterick pattern pieces onto this small piece of fabric. Wish me luck.
