I stumbled upon this top on the internet and have fallen in love. This jacket would be perfect for my work but obviously not out of the metallic linen shown here. I would like that, though, as well! And as my luck would have it, it's an OOP (out of print) with a big price tag through Etsy shops. Then I found it on Amazon, did the Prime click, and it will be here by Tuesday! I am not sure about fabric yet. I may do a trial run with some linen or chambray and then on to a wool or such. I have always loved swing jackets and the cut of theses sleeves is spectacular. So more Vogue Designer fun coming! Check out the yoke lines and the curve of the sleeve hems, beautiful.
More to come!........Bunny
This pattern was made for you Bunny!
ReplyDeleteI agree ! From any photo I have seen of you, this is a divinely well suited jacket for you Bunny. I love Anne Klein designs. I have a few myself. Good find. love Robyn x
ReplyDeleteFunny how it looks like you already although the sleeves might need taming and tapering a bit. How delicious to begin a project and select fabrics and notions and seam finishes...I'm excited for you, Bunny!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this jacket Bunny and I know you will make a spectacular job of it.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for the sharing process to start and for us to watch the progression of this delicious sewing project.
Love the pattern both jacket and pants. Great find!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern has been in my stash for awhile. I had a teal tapestry fabric in mind for it, but it hasn't been cut yet.
ReplyDeleteNow, with your bringing it to mind, I'm seeing a Tilton Sisters vibe to it - and I like it! I think the collar is the only thing that perhaps dates it. Could be the pictured fabric choices, too.
Hmmm, have to pull it forward in the que!
Thanks!

All the reviews say that but I like the collar. Maybe that dates me???? Thanks for reminding me to maybe use a home dec fabric. I will do some on line sleuthing tonight.
DeleteI have this pattern - I'm short and didn't think I could wear the jacket. I thought it might over power me. I'll be anxious to see what you do with this. Now I need to dig it out as soon as I get back home

I made this jacket as a show sample to feature machine embroidery schiffli lace for John Deer's Adorable Ideas! it is a wonderful pattern. I used an ecru sheer silk with a touch of lycra. all seams were flat fell and top stitched with a silk finish thread. Unfortunately, I cannot find the pictures!
ReplyDeleteSounds gorgeous, Heather. One of the ways I pictured this pattern was in a sheer organdy with heavy lace for the yokes and sleeve bottoms. It's like the SB pattern I am working on. It could look good as a jacket or even as a blouse with the right fabric.
DeleteGreat detailing on this smart jacket. I know you'll do a splendid job of sewing - and wearing - it. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI've had that pattern for ages. Can't wait to see what you'll do with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous jacket. Love all of the seam lines.
ReplyDeleteI also have this pattern but have never made it up. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
