One of our projects was making lined wool blazers. Now, I wish I still had that blazer. <br /><br />I love your jacket and do not think you "need an occasion" to wear it. I would wear it with your jeans or over a dress with a pretty silk scarf!

I love the piping around the panels and the use of a sueded fabric in the upper shoulder panels ... very cool. I learned to sew my own clothes from my mother and made most of my school clothes and peasant blouses and such during my teen years, so I really appreciate good workmanship when I go shopping for clothing. I have always wanted to be able to develop my own patterns, but am intimidated - don't want to waste fabric with thelearning curve ... catch 22!Susan Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039551683129884367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835785024084523237.post-87555995664718578602014-11-29T09:45:39.389-08:002014-11-29T09:45:39.389-08:00I love this jacket, especially the piping.
