For fall, that is. Because then I can actually wear my fabulous new jacket!
I fell in love with the style when I sewed a similar one for the bunny. I couldn’t find one exactly like it but I found something close and just tweaked it. I think it’s a pretty good match.
The fabric is from the Park Slope line by Erin McMorris, which I lurve like nothing else. The color is just beautiful, such a deep raspberry and I think it’ll look great with jeans or maybe even a fall skirt.
I’ve been planning to add the little girl’s jacket a a you-pick-the-fabric custom to my Etsy and am contemplating doing the same with this one, but I’m not 100 percent certain yet.
Regardless, I think I’ll be making a couple more of these for my closet. Of course with coordinating jackets for Mini Me.

The colors of this jacket are perfect for fall! I love it! What pattern did you use? I’m so petite that to wear something like this, I would probably have to sew it for myself.

That is just wonderful! It it perfectly suited for that fabric. I am also wondering what pattern you used!

Sigh. How dreamy. It makes me long for fall… I’ve seen these jackets everywhere and have been dubious that they could ever really look good on a grown woman but you have changed my mind! You never cease to amaze me–SERIOUSLY!

It’s just lovely! I am enjoying the color so much. I often gravitate towards the oranges and browns in fall…but the raspberry is going to be so nice!

I’m crazy about the color and style. The pattern is Butterick, B5187, but I mashed up the views so it would look more like the one I made for my daughter.

You flatter me! Thanks, Heather. I’m not sure how great it looks on me but I like it and I’m gonna wear it anyway.
28 August, 3:35 pm
I’m glad you like it. I hope I’ve worked out most of the layout bugs.
28 August, 3:36 pm
Thanks, Heather! You could totally make it.
28 August, 3:37 pm
I think that’s one of the things I like about it, that it’s not such an obvious fall color. I tend to gravitate toward cooler shades, so this is perfect for me.

Oooh, I really love this! I would wear it in a heartbeat! You did a fantastic job.

Thanks, Amy! I can’t wait to make a couple more. I’m trying to decide which fabrics to use so L and I have coordinating ones but not super matchy-matchy.
28 August, 10:08 pm
which pattern did you use for your daughter, because my daughter and I need to be matchy matchy too, and since you have inspired me to try and sew for myself…

I love it! I have always loved that style and the color just puts it over the top.Bravo!

Hope, I’ll have to look it up and email you. I want to say it’s a Simplicity pattern but I can’t find it on their site or SewingPatterns.com. I do know it starts at a size 3.
30 August, 9:28 pm
Thanks, Suze! It’s definitely bolder than anything RTW that I would have bought but I think that’s part of its appeal for me.

Thanks so much, Sarah!
