New Indiesew jacket pattern

[Vezelay]

It's this, the Monarch jacket which looks like a cross between a bomber jacket and a cardi. There's 15% off if you subscribe to the Indiesew newsletter. This one's right up my street - a quick, easy make that looks super-comfortable and versatile. When I recover from my upcoming second cataract op and my elbow wire removal surgery I'm definitely making a couple of these!

Not really my style but it looks to be an easy to make, easy to wear jacket.  Kust use a few more fastenings on the front (one is definitely needed at full bust level) and make them evenly spaced.

I dont like the big band on the bottom, I’ve made the Lisbon cardigan with that neckline, it’s easy to construct but I’m not a fan

This has a bomber jacket collar @Efemera - I don't think the Lisbon cardigan has. I've made a couple of bomber jackets and a couple of Toaster 1's which have a similar wide waist and sleeve bands and get lots of compliments so I reckon a mash up could work.

@BrendaP Good point - an extra snap fastener wouldn't go amiss.
