Fitted Jacket

By

Sharing is caring!

I made a fun fitted jacket!  You can do this – I impressed myself that I could.  It’s made of fleece and using Simplicity Pattern 2812:

And I was so surprised how easy it was – came together really quickly, and I didn’t even need to call my mom to figure out what the pattern was saying.  Ignore my pants and shoes in the picture – of course, in 2 days the temps went from record lows to the 70s – so the day I finished it, it was really warm out – not really jacket weather. 

 Ever since I saw the yellow jacket on Running With Scissors, I’ve had it in my mind to make something similar.  That day at Joann’s, Simplicity Patterns were the ones one the $1 sale, so I grabbed Simplicity 2812 – and fleece was on sale, so that’s what I used.  It’s like being wrapped in a blanket – love it.  It’s not too thick because it’s not lined (it called for lining but I just skipped that part) – perfect.

My favorite part – the welts – those flap-things on the pockets.  I used Amy Butler fabric and I think it just adds the right “pop”.

 I also used that fabric on the buttons and on the inside of the stand collar for a few more fun “pops”. 

LOVE how it turned out!!

    that is great! I need new coats that are comfortable. I like the idea of using fleece, I would have never thought of that. I love your color choice and the amy butler print is perfect with it!

    Wow, fabulous jacket! I really like the style and I LOVE the colour, especially with the Amy Butler accents. Well done, you are such a pro!

    Wait, WHAT? You MADE that? As in sewed the whole thing? AMAZING! I struggle with a square pillow. You are a super star 🙂

    Thanks for the tip on the pattern! I’ve been staring at my coat closet in dissatisfaction, and I think this might do the trick. Great job…beautiful colors!

    LOVE!! The coat, I have a very hard time finding a coat I like that’s not to heavy but fits right. I may keep an eye out for the pattern, and try to whip one up for my self.

    Looks great and the mixed fabrics works wonderful- and the pattern would be one that I want to have. But it wouldn´t look that nice with a bust that is that too much for such a pattern 😉
    the colors would be great for my daughter. I will bookmark your side:)

    I love this design! Found it on pinterest today, and was so disappointed when I couldn’t find the pattern for sale anywhere! Do you know of anything similar?
