Fabric used: Target poplin. It is maybe a step down in thickness from denim. It was fairly easy to work with.
Complexity of pattern: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
How long did it take to complete: 14 hours
Overall Review: I like this pattern. I had to redo the first sleeve I sewed on because I put it on backwards so paying attention to the correct direction certain pieces need to be sewn on for this pattern is important. When I wore it, I left the 1st button undone and opened up the collar a little. I kinda wish I made a 14 in this because it is really form fitting but the 12 is ok. I might sew this pattern again in a thinner material and a more spring like color but I have a few other jacket patterns I need to sew up first.
This is a design that I plan to put on most of my clothes to give it somewhat of a personal touch. It is a Queen's crown. I embroidered it on the lower right side of the jacket.

Great work - you look really good in it and I LOVE YOUR BUTTONS!
That came out gorgeous! The whole thing works perfectly.
I love this jacket! And the little crown is a brilliant touch.
That's a GREAT jacket! I love it! You look adorable in it too. And, your signature on all your pieces is a nice touch.
That jacket is a beaut and I could not love that embroidery design any more!
I like the logo thingy. Something to make it your own. And nice jacket, too.
I'm going to be looking for the crowns from now on.
Cute! I'm working on this jacket now and googled it and your blog came up. Thanks for sharing!
