But non-stretch denim that is 1) in the right shade of red (i.e. not primary school red) and 2) not super heavy weight is IMPOSSIBLE to find. <br /><br />Loved seeing that peek of gingham in that jacket. I really really want to make something with gingham soon!Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074339341919661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-87098447078385842012015-06-06T10:43:55.982-07:002015-06-06T10:43:55.982-07:00Love the curved hem of the Islander jacket, and I ...Love the curved hem of the Islander jacket, and I love that muted red so much I'm looking to copy it (imitation being the sincerest form, etc.).Perfect for Bay Area weather, and also for avoiding that denim matchy thing. I'll leave off the upper pockets and flaps, though--not a good look on me. Great post!

I think your pattern is a smarter looking jacket and the other one is more casual. And I still have a pair of Vogue jeans half made from a stretch bone coloured fabric that *doh* had the stretch going the wrong way and realised half way through cutting it too. I'm still so annoyed and it's been 2 years... I think with a jacket it's ok, but with jeans, stretch and a booty... probably won't end well!

The first jacket with the curved fronts and no button flaps looks unfinished while the second looks very professional. The pockets in the first look like they will contain tissues and candy wrappers while the second pockets look nice and flat. The neat thing is you have 2 jackets done and ready to wear and love and keep the cold air off your shoulders this summer. The shoulders look very nice in the second jacket and are wide and perky enough to balance your hips and skirt width. Foxgloves reseed themselves and up here in the north we never know from year to year what colors will emerge.Your yard is just beautiful!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-14640925143878879882015-06-06T01:13:48.481-07:002015-06-06T01:13:48.481-07:00Beth, I love both jackets, but love even more that...Beth, I love both jackets, but love even more that someone as experienced and talented as you can admit that she cut one out with the stretch going the wrong way! And that it is still wearable - that is fantastic. Thanks for the humanity and for being willing to share it!<br />And I didn't understand any of the baseball references ;-)<br />I love your blog Beth and your skills and expertise - thanks for sharing all that you do.thornberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503174766017894067noreply@blogger.com
