From McCall's website
This is the pattern for my next Mood Sewing Network project using Soft Purple Floral Outerwear - the description
| "This polyester taffeta-like fabric would make a stylish trenchcoat or anorak, with its soft, washed floral print. Pretty shades of purple and charcoal. Crisp like a taffeta, medium-weight. " |
 |
I feel it the fabric has a bit of water repellent tendencies and with the medium-weight will help keep the wind from cutting right through the jacket. This is just what I need for a spring rain type coat.
I am not going to line this coat but instead use flat fell seams throughout. This feature will be particularly nice with the rolled up sleeves.
Oh, I've got this pattern too...I'll be watching for your purple version!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa, I think this is a great looking pattern.
DeleteCan't wait to see this! I have this pattern as well, am planning a spring jacket in linen, unlined. It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Coco, linen would make a great jacket.
DeleteI saw that fabric at the store and I loved it! Cannot wait to see your jacket :)
ReplyDeleteThat is cool you saw it in person, one of these days I am going to NYC and the fashion district.
DeleteCan't wait to see this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it will have some very special touches and notions!
DeletePretty color!
ReplyDeleteI'm making your comment section sound like a broken record, but I've got this pattern on my short list as well, and can't wait to see what you have to say about it when it's done. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny. I am anxious to see the finished project, it isn't a hard sew just lots of finishing details.
DeleteOooh, pretty fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to sew, presses and holds the press, easy to stitch.
DeleteLori how did you know that I've been craving a great anorak jacket??? Can't wait to read your review of this pattern.
ReplyDeleteI just have ESP, Faye and knew we were on the same wavelength! Seriously, this pattern has been on my list for some time and with spring coming it is a perfect time to make this jacket.
DeleteOh such a great pattern! I can hardly wait to see what you do with it. The fabric is gorgeous! I picked this pattern for the green military look! Love the version you chose!
ReplyDeleteI have a military one (RTW) and it is fun to wear. I think this will be a nice combination of fabric and pattern.
DeleteWell, I am another one that has that pattern and mine is cut out. I am making mine more of a military style jacket in kind of a grey khaki, unlined as well. I am thinking of doing Hong Kong seams with a navy print.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your jacket. I had thought about Hong Kong finish but with my fabric, I went with the other finish.
DeleteI really like the look of this pattern. I always think about making an anorak, they're so versatile but it never seems to make it to the top of my list! Can't wait to see how yours turns out.
