Vintage McCall's 8548: Plaid Jacket

There are some patterns that just make it to the cutting table over and over again.  Vintage McCall's 8548 just happens to be one of those patterns.  

What can I say about this pattern other than how cute it is? Oh wait, it's a well-drafted pattern and all of the piece for the jacket went together just as well as for the pants and dress.  The only pattern that I haven't tried from this offering is for the little boys' cap.  Maybe one day... 

But back to the jacket.  

  

My favourite part is the little patch pocket with the self lining, sturdy enough to carry rocks or shells  that a little fella can find.  It has a twelve inch separating zipper and hi-low hemline. It is unlined with a front facing. 

The Stats:  

Fabric:  0.70 metres of a medium weight polar fleece type fabric

Zipper:  12" separating zipper

Additional Tools and Supplies:  Burda tracing paper, pens, cutting table, pins, pin cushion, hand sewing needles, iron, ironing board, sewing machine, zipper foot, walking foot, threads, serger, tailor's chalk, measuring tape, scissors, and thread clippers.
