JCrew Coat

This jacket created using McCalls #5328



Remember this? Really adorable, but utterly overpriced coat.

Here's my version done a lot cheaper:





Hands down this is the most successful and satisfying sewing project I've ever done. I really tried to take my time and do it right by finishing off all seams and raw edges. It's beautiful and I am so pumped!!! I haven't added the button yet because I can't decide what color (white, khaki, or black) or how many to put on. Probably just one large. I'm thinking I'll pair it with a black pencil skirt and red heels. YES!

Alterations to pattern:
shortenting sleeve length
adding neck ruffle

**This is even the "expensive" version because I splurged on the really nice twill.
