I have had this pattern since it came out but had not made it. I actually have many patterns that were purchased as soon as they were released just sitting in my stash. But this pattern in particular has been on trend over a year maybe longer and is still holding pretty steady. It is the infamous bomber jacket that has been made up in various fabrics. I finally made mine and am very happy with it. Here is my review.
Pattern Description: Semi-fitted, unlined jackets have collar, side-front seams, bands, side-front pockets, exposed front zipper contrast panels and sleeves with shoulder dart. A, B, C: Welt pockets. D: Kangaroo pocket. Collar & Bands: For moderate stretch knits only.
Pattern Sizing: XSSM-LXLXXL, I made the Large
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Absolutely does.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very simple to follow. If you are a newbie, the instructions to add the knit band around the bottom may be a little confusing.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I needed to make something rather quickly and this fit the bill for me.
Fabric used: I used Ankara wax print for the front and back pieces, a sweatshirt knit for the sleeves and ribbed knit for the collar and bands.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did not make any changes this time but for future makes I will add a lining.
Would you sew it again? Definitely making this again. Would you recommend it to others? Highly recommend it to others.
Conclusion: This jacket was quick and easy and true to size.
