It's that time a year to make lots of jackets. I have 4 new jackets from last year, and I've now added a 5th. But this one is by far my favorite. I made this after taking the Craftsy Class, Modern Jacket Techniques. It features real welt pockets with flaps, a notch collar and princess seams throughout for better fitting. While the class uses the Simplicity Pattern 2446, this jacket was a self drafted pattern. I loved the class, but I was not thrilled with the method used to make the collar and lapel. I'll stick to Threads Magazine's method in the future. And I should mention the most important thing: 3 Days to make.
