Canvas Jacket sewing pattern

I’m about 3/4 done with the Canvas Jacket

Things I like: The collar and cuff method. It was not a method I have ever used before but trust the process; it worked and it was a more neatly done collar and cuffs than I’d ever done. I should have lengthened the sleeves about an inch or so. They are acceptable but for me just a hair too short. Next time. I think I’d also add a bit of width to the sleeve, maybe. I got very nervous assembling the sleeves but they do fit. Not going to be able to fit much underneath, though. Things I didn’t like: The pocket method. The pocket bands just didn’t work for me and I ended up cutting new pockets and preparing/attaching them in the way I’ve always done. My fabric (toile) is a thrifted tablecloth with kind of a windowpane weave so that didn’t help. I cut the new pockets longer and on the bias; problem solved. I am waiting until later to attach the larger lower pockets in case I want this jacket shorter than suggested. Still have to do buttonholes, buttons, hem and attach those pockets. Overall I like this pattern and plan to make it again.

Fabulous pattern. Easy to follow and fun to wear.

Love it

This jacket was so easy to put together with the video tutorial. And it's so stylish. Perfect for Autumn weather.
