new year, new jacket

hey, i think i found a pattern that will work out for me!

it’s butterick 3595, kind of a standard denim jacket style, with a choice of several different lengths.

for my first try, i made it slightly larger than what would be my true size, since i tend to layer my clothing.

i tried view C. it’s about hip-length, and has side pockets. it’s also fully lined.

the fabric was something i found on sale at joann a few months ago. a fun cotton juvenile print.

all in all, i found the pattern a little challenging, as it included some elements i haven’t worked with before, but it wasn’t too hard for me to follow. i think i’ll try it again, maybe in my actual size so i can see what it’s like as a more “fitted” garment.
