Pattern Review: S2443

S2443: Jacket (the dress is on the sewing table as we speak)



Pattern Description: Cynthia Rowley Collection. Misses' dress sewing pattern with knit bodice and jacket or vest.

Pattern Sizing: I cut a 6

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did

Were the instructions easy to follow? Super easy except for the placket, I used my own method.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved this pattern when I saw it, I liked it so much I paid full price for it..lol, I am not patient so I didn't want to wait until Joann had a sale. I finished the jacket and I am working on the dress now.

Fabric Used: I used a double knit even though it suggest a lightweight batik or similar but I knew if I made sure to trim my SA and interface correctly I could avoid any bulk and I did.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None. There is no lining in this pattern so U used ribbon to hide my SA's next time I think I will draft a lining.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will sew it once more and I do recommend it!

Conclusion: It is really a cute jacket, pics don't do it justice.

  9. Oh my gosh that jacket is absolutely beautiful. I was going to try it, but there appears to be a lot of little parts to it. But it's so great!

    So, you're doing the dress too?

  10. Mimi,
    This jacket is so beautiful. The picture on the cover of the pattern did not do this jacket justice. You are so talented.
