I don't need any more clothes but my fabric and pattern stashes are an embarrassment so I needed to sew! Had this French terry for at least 4 years so made another Jalie 2795. I really like Jalie patterns - they're reliable and run true to size. This one has 27 pieces to sew and lots of top-stitching so it's not a quick sew but I'm happy with the final garment. It looks good on the dress form anyway :). I don't wear patterned clothes that much but hopefully I'll wear this with jeans and tees.

The inside collar is the same brushed cotton jersey as the sweatshirt I'm wearing here but with the brushed side out. I used a metal zip i had for a change, think it works with this fabric.

Alarmingly while overlocking a seam I carelessly sliced into the back piece!! This meant unpicking the raglan sleeves from the back, recutting the back and two side pieces and resewing all that. I had barely enough fabric left so was lucky to get away with it. Lesson learned.

Just my sort of thing @Vezelay I've always looked on you as my pattern guru  :)
I don't really do patterned fabric either but it works on that really well.

I think I could be persuaded on that, I have looked at the pattern in the past but left.  Yours is fabulous @Vezelay

That looks so good on you @Vezelay. Nice choice of fabric & the colours suit you.  :thumbsup: I too like Jalie patterns but haven't sewn too many of them.
