Sew Simple 1738 - Jacket.




I work in an office building that feels like its 20 below everyday, year round.  I wanted to find a pattern for a simple jacket and while at Walmart I came across this pattern while strolling through the Walmart Fabric department.  SewSimple which is a Simplicity brand is only .97 cents at my Walmart.  I have a few but this is the first that I have actually made.  At first glance I passed it up, but went back to get it because I thought it was kinda cute.  Then, while surfing one day, I came across The Fearless Seamstress's version, and I absolutely love it.

  11. My office is freezing, too! I need to get rid of my dowdy old sweater and try to make a jacket! Yours looks so well made. I just wish you could see how good the back looks when wearing it. I really like the tapered waist.
