I finally finished the Ottobre Biker Jacket in purple
faux leather. It is from the 05/2017 issue which is probably my favourite issue - I've made three things from it so far and other 3 are in the planning stages.
I picked the jacket pattern to use up a piece of cheap faux leather and to cure my zip inserting phobia. This pattern has six zips. The pattern went together like a dream - except for the fabric - it wouldn't pin, press or hold a crease. It melted under a warm iron, stretched as it sewed and broke three needles. I would have had more joy sewing heavy duty bin liners. However as long as no-one inspects the topstitching too closely I am cautiously pleased with how it turned out ( and zips are surprisingly easy after the third one).
