Paisley Jacket

 
Pattern Description: Simplicity 2256 Jacket in two lengths with neckline and sleeve variations.  I made view B with the double collar.




 Previously, I made this blue ruffle jacket. and this white ruffle collar jacket.

 



Pattern Sizing: 4-22

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it's a beautiful pattern.

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the double layer collar more.

Fabric Used: Multi Sateen navy, white, and pink purchased from Fabric Mart.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Yes Would you recommend it to others? Yes

Conclusion: I can't wait to make this view in a solid color. It's exciting to have completed this jacket as I really wanted to make it last year, but my list was filled to the brim. Scrolling through the Fabric Mart pages, I came across this. It is so tempting because of the sparkles. This one is black, white, and pink.

    1. Thank you BeaJay! I started to make a dress, but thought it would get better use. I know it's a busy print for the lovey designs of the jacket.
