Vogue Pattern 8887 Jacket

This was my Level Seven project for YCMI sewing class at The Sassy Sewer. In this level, I learned how to make a Lined Blazer/Jacket, Welt Pockets, bound buttonholes, covered buttons and much more.  

Pattern Review (V8887)

Description: Lined jacket with shoulder pads and flaps.

Fabric Used: Ankara + Blue Lining fabric from Joann Fabric

Pattern Sizing: I cut out a size 4. 

Were the Instructions easy to follow? Yes, but Blondell at The Sassy Sewer showed me an easier way to attach the lining.

Likes or Dislikes about the Pattern: The directions were pretty clear but I would not recommend this pattern for beginners. 

Pattern Alterations or Design Changes made: I did covered buttons and added an extra button to the closure.

Would you Sew it again? There's a possibility..
