Linen Fall Jacket
comments (0) August 17th, 2009 in sewing, fabric, reader's closetI wanted a jacket to dress up my jeans on casual Fridays at work, and I happen to have been hoarding this olive green linen. I added sheer ribbon to the seams to embellish it a bit for myself, and used gold toned buttons embossed with a flower.
It's just the right weight to wear over a t-shirt or dress shirt in the office and be comfortable. Not only will it look great for work, it can also be worn out for dinner/drinks with friends/co-workers, still looking casual, but with fashion style and class.
Pattern or design used: McCalls 5190
