Pattern Description: Unlined, semi-fitted, above waist jacket has dolman sleeves with length variations and with or without collar. A: snap closure at neck

Pattern Sizing: I cut size 8

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Not really cuz I changed it..lol

Were the instructions easy to follow? Dont really know because I didnt use them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? well I had this idea in my head of what I wanted my coat to look like and this pattern had the top part right :) so I used that as my base

Fabric Used: wonderful wool blend I got in NY i think.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Well, I added length..lol, I fully lined it so I used the pattern pieces (modified ones) to create the lining and facings. I added two large patch pockets and a leather belt buckle thingy.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I wont sew it again but if you like it you can easily modify this one.

Conclusion: love it, it is just what I had in my head.

Hello!

I was at forever 21 not long ago and found this really great sweater, drapey thing..lol and wanted to make them out of fabric since they only had knitted ones. So I bought one and decided to make my version of it.

Promo Video:

The video is an instructional video with a DIY pattern, it is about 60 min long and I cover the following:
