Shawl Collar Jacket

I made version A.


Fabric: medium weight double knit remnant with a floral pattern



I constructed this jacket as per the instructions except for shortening the sleeves and stitching a 2cm seam line over the top of the shoulders and tapering it to the 1.5cm seam about 5cm either side. This made the shoulders fit better since I did not use shoulder pads.



Strangely the fabric pattern does not look stripey in real life.
