I’ve been meaning to sit down and write a nice post but I couldn’t. Because I’ve been in a bit of a funk that descended on me when I made this one wadder. Not because it was a wadder; everybody makes one every so often. And it’s not even a wadder, really, it just needs the fronts recut. And therein lies the problem. I’m out of that fabric. Yes, I can order more of it (and have, too) but it will take about two weeks to arrive. Because we’re stationed in Germany. I usually do a pretty good job of happily ignoring that little factoid (in ostrich-like fashion), but having to wait two weeks or more for fabric brings it home in a way that defies denial.
Anyway, the fabric is not here yet but I have made it past the funk by making that pattern in a different fabric (and there are many yards of pretty fabrics coming my way in the next few weeks, hehe). Yay! Here’s a sneak peek:
It still needs buttons and buttonholes. That’s my work for tomorrow. Then I’ll be back with more pictures.
See you soon!

Oh, that sucks – but it’s ok cuz you can get more of that lovely fabric. What pattern is that?? I might want to buy it. BTW, if there’s one thing I should probably not buy more of, it’s jacket patterns! I checked my pattern stash and I’ve got a ridiculous number of these, never mind that I’ve only sewn one of them with fitting success. They’re like rainbow unicorns.

This new jacket is so pretty! And I’m sorry that you have to wait for new fabric goodness!!!

Well, there’s always a silver lining in every story. You’ll finish your jacket and there’s more fabric coming! I really like the one you have almost finished.
