Life has been extremely busy lately, and I have hardly had the time and energy to sew. But when my son announced that they would have a circus week at school, I couldn't resist...
I've been wanting to sew such a jacket ever since seeing Max California's winning boy outfit for the Project Run and Play Season 6 (back in 2013...). Of course, I was also inspired by the famous Stella McCartney military jackets, and by this jacket from Petit a Petit & Family.
The outside is made of blue velvet and the red lining is made of an old curtain, both from my stash.
The pattern is self-drafted, by combining Sofilantjes' ADV tee with a pattern of a cropped jacket that I found in an old Knippie (a Dutch pattern journal). The jacket is slightly cropped at the back, while the front is angled down a bit.
I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I think he loves it too. A fun colourful jacket for my bright and colourful boy!
