Summer Sewing Challenge - Express Yourself in Linen

Linen “Giraffe” Jacket

Front of Linen "Giraffe" Jacket

CONSTRUCTION:

  1. Shoulder Seams
  2. Sleeve Caps to Arm Holes
  3. Side seams up through Sleeve seams
  4. Same with lining
  5. Attached lining to cuffs, then Hem and Neck/ pulled through ( at this time I decided to add a facing instead of having the lining meet the front opening)
  6. Sewed bound facing up front and around neck then “tacked” it to lining with light weight bonding tape
  7. Button Loops were added prior to the Lining on both Neck and Sleeves
  8. Buttons are antique…a find at an Estate Sale

Found this great Linen fabric at an Estate Sale about three years ago. Designed the Jacket I wanted to make it into, and finally got to it this spring.  Love wearing it with a white shell top, white Linen Slacks and Linen espadrille Shoes.

    Good choice of design for a print like this. It looks very nicely made also.

    A great jacket. So elegant and the simple lines of the design do not detract from the smashing fabric. Beautiful construction
