Vogue 1263 Part II

Here are photos of the Donna Karan jacket, Vogue 1263. Did I mention how much I love this pattern?





I really do like the look of the flat fell seams and the darts at the lower hemline. I made it in a size medium and it is quite roomy. I could easily wear it with a belt.

Okay, here are pictures with me wearing the jacket. This first picture is of me waiting for the 10 seconds on my self-timer to go off on my camera.


 And this second look is the wait, I'm not ready look!

  2. LOL! I love your pictures! I too understand the joys of timer pictures. My favourite recent one was being caught mid-spin trying to race and turn in front of the camera in time. :)

    The jacket is lovely. The seams look really good, especially on that weight of fabric! The whole thing looks super cozy too, which is a huge bonus. Nice job!

  7. Thank you for all your lovely comments. I can't take too much credit, the instructions were perfect and it really is an easy project to put together despite that undersleeve flat fell seam.
