burda 7401

Here is Burda 7401.  I  made this a while ago  but I have been wearing it  a lot lately.  I used some 100% linen I bought from Fashion Fabric.com  a long time ago.  I bought it because the color was what i was looking for and it was only $3.95 a yard.  It was not very good quality>  I should have known that for that price it would be mediocre.   I love to wear this color with jeans so I thought it turned out okay.  The coat you can see hanging  on the right of this picture  is a vintage coat I found on e-bay for $7.00  Love it  ... i will leave that to another post....

This pattern was a lot like the vest I posted a while ago.  It has pockets on the sides which I sewed shut because they were really droopy...the fabrics fault.  The sleeves are just rolled up to make it really casual. 

Here you can see the back peplum.  It is cut on the bias which makes it hang  greatAll in all it was pretty easy to make .

  1. thanks for the review - I haven`t heard of that pattern. Even though you weren`t completely happy with your fabric your jacket looks very special and high class.

  4. That's very pretty, and a jacket that can be dressed up or down. Perfect!

  5. Wow! Your jacket looks great! I have just cut this pattern out and am struggling with it! Were the pieces the right size, or did you have to ease them? In particular, the lower front (that makes the pocket) seems too short to fit on the front. The side piece also seems too short. Can you help me?

  6. I also had trouble with the pockets, they just didn't fit right . I finally just sewed them shut.

  7. I love the look and the fabric seems just fine to me. Don't you love the power of photography. Wonder how it has stood the test of a month.... LOL.
