vogue Jacket 8714

It is raining like crazy outside, which is odd for us... I live in Utah and we usually have two or three  feet of snow this time of year..and below zero temps..but this year we have no snow and it is in the mid 4o's and raining...go figure... Well I thought since I can't run outside today,  I would take a few minutes to post this jacket I  made a while ago.   I love linen !  I bought this fabric  last year at Jos and when I found this pattern I fell in love with it... I thought the two would go great together.  It is Vogue 8714.   It was very easy to make and has a vest I thought would be fun to try... I thought this would be cute with jeans{ when I can get them back on}   Or a jeans skirt.   I'm working on a BWOF  dress right now and I am super excited about it.  Hopefully i can post it in a few days...   
another view   I topstiched the entire jacket
this is the back peplum which I topstiched.   love topstiching!

  2. I thought that jacket looked familiar, and then discovered I have that pattern. Yours is terrific. I like that waistline seam. I wondered how to wear the lapel and I see you turned yours back. Very nice.

  3. I love your jacket!! The linen is so beautiful. I'm sorry I had to remove my comment because I posted it on the wrong posting instead of this one. Better go have my coffee, LOL.
