This unlined and loose-fitting jacket will be perfect for the end of summer and moving into autumn. It's made with out-of-print (OOP) Vogue 8430. This project was an easy make. I evened out the hem, left off the dart on the lower sleeve and roll hemmed the edges.
The fabric is a cotton tweed. It's not listed as one of the recommended fabrics for this pattern but I like the pattern design on this one. I know that this fabric has been in my stash for many years because I purchased this one at Mitchel Fabrics when it was open. It closed down in 2017. And then I remembered that I made a jacket with Vogue 8916 and this fabric. It turns out that this fabric entered the stash in 2014. Yes, I've held onto some pieces for a long time. It's nice to have finally stash-bust this one.
