I decided to test out the Clef jacket from Love Notions patterns.
I used some fabric I find a bit itchy and some buttons which are a bit orange as I plan to donate the end result.
The overall fit was fine though I shortened the sleeves .
For my next version I'm going to rotate the pockets 90 degrees so they are deeper. Add a high round back alteration, and straighten the ends of the sleeves for easier hemming.
I'm hoping this will be a good way to make a fleece jacket when I can't easily get a matching zip but have matching buttons!
This has used another 2m of fabric so
Fabric sewn so far in 2025 - 13m, fabric purchased zero!
- 3m of teal jersey
- 2m of print/brown sweater knit
- 3m of animal print jersey
- 3m of brown poly knit
- 2m of itchy brown fabric
