BWOF 04/2009 - 116 Jacket Finished

Finally!  Here's a reminder of the pattern;

Back in February, Sigrid made a lovely BWOF linen blouse/jacket and was wondering whether she should line it or not. I remember commenting that it would probably be quicker and easier to line it to get a neat finish on the inside. So why did I not take my own advice and instead choose to omit the lining in this jacket? That was definitely a question I was asking myself while putting this together, but basically I wanted it to be a light summer jacket that I could throw in the washing machine.

So after much hair loss here is the finished jacket, it's in a bright green linen (I am trying to inject more colour into my wardrobe this year) with white plastic buttons and white topstitching. My button spacing is a bit unconventional but this is what worked best for me!


The inside is finished in a whole bunch of ways depending on what would be obviously visible if I wore it open, which I will most of the time.


Overall I am happy with how this jacket turned out, it's a well drafted pattern, as we've come to expect and the instructions even make sense!


I feel like I have got good use out of my April issue and now plan to move onto May and try out some dresses.
