Latest release from Hot Patterns  - just arrived...

It'€™s always great to have a denim-jacket alternative, 
so make yourself this, perfect in denim (of course!), 
but also great in medium-weight jacket fabrics like 
crepe, canvas, velvet, corduroy, linen, sateen, brocade, 
tweed or boucle. You can also use a firm sweater knit, 
French terry, ponte, fleece, or boiled wool. 

Unlined & unstructured semi-fitted, hip length jacket 
has front and back princess seams, patch pockets, and
3/4 length sleeves with slits at the hems. Jacket has a 
stand collar, center back seam and angled shoulder yokes. 

Optional topstitching adds a cool-casual vibe; hems are finished with facings.

This great jacket works well with pants and skirts, and it'€™s
a year-round style with just a change of fabric...wear it to 
toughen up a pretty dress or blouse, to soften a tailored pant, 
or to dress up your jeans; add coverage to a sleeveless 
daytime or evening outfit too.
