The Sew Along went at a comfortable pace and I stayed on track for the most part but near the end Tasia ran out of thread and it was about a week before she was back on track with the posts. Sadly, it was just enough time for me to start on something else and lose my steam towards finishing. I finally picked it up last week and finished the last few steps!
I chose to make the version without the hood, but also did not add the cuffs. The cuffs give the jacket a more sporty edge, but I preferred not to use them and turned the sleeve over and followed the instructions similar to the bottom hem of the jacket. The fabric I used was a cotton canvas from Harts fabric and the lining is Rayon bemberg also from Harts.
I would love to make this again maybe even a raincoat version, but I live in California and our jacket season is short and our raincoat season almost non-existent. I am going to wait and see how much wear I get out of this one first!
