For me, sewing this jean jacket was like reading a novel that you just can’t put down. I had to keep going until it was finished. It was such a trouble-free project and everything fit together without any effort – even inserting the sleeves. No basting, no easing required. Painless.
The straight seams are perfect for my no-waist body type. The fit is relaxed and comfortable. I shortened the sleeves by two inches and deviated from the instructions by placing twill tape into the shoulder seams and I attached the back upper collar (no back neck facing) with machine stitching instead of hand stitching.
For interfacing, I used a light/mid-weight fusible Pellon. It was interfacing that I have had forever and have repeatedly rejected almost to the point of pitching it. It worked really well with this mystery fabric. The buttons came from the stash.
I am looking forward to sewing this pattern again in denim.
