A fall jacket


This isn't in accordance with the theme, I know! But I already have retro curtains and napkins, and I think any further incursion of kitsch would make my modernist bf revolt.

This is simplicity 4047, in a vintage mohair boucle, and I am in love with it. The pattern was actually really easy to make and I banged it out pretty quickly last weekend and have barely taken it off since. I felt guilty buying another swingy jacket pattern since I already had the Artful Dodger swingy jacket from hotpatterns, but I actually like this one better - the bias panels swing really nicely, and really pop in a pattern like this. There's a few more pics on my blog, as well as more ranting about how much I love this jacket.
