Suggestions for a jacket pattern?
« on: June 23, 2018, 08:24:49 AM »
I bought 3 metres of 110 cm wide striped fabric when on holiday in Peru (as you do) and am looking for a suitable jacket pattern.  The fabric is stiffish, doesn't drape.

I like Burda 6736, except that it is double breasted, which doesn't flatter me.

Can anyone suggest something similar?

Actually it's not really properly double breasted @Kathy it's just that there's slightly more overlap than single breasted. Maybe one and a half breasted!  :S  There's one review of this pattern on pattern review - coat length - and it looks stunning.  It would be a good simple pattern to show off a fabulous print. See what others suggest but you might want to still keep this one in the frame!
