chebe | Seamwork Audrey denim jacket (Reply)

Seamwork's Audrey is a sweet little denim jacket. It has a great many pieces, and the breast pockets are fake, but I absolutely completely and utterly adore this jacket! I made mine in a fairly light-weight dark navy denim. I did not do contrast stitching. The breast pockets may be fake (though the flaps are great for attaching badges) but there are welt pockets on the tummy! It was only my second time (that I recall) ever making welt pockets, so they aren't perfect, but they certainly do work. The buttons had to be hammered on (with a rubber camping mallet), and I always get confused about which side they go on. I know I got it wrong because my plankets (I made plankets!) are twisted. I finished the seams on the overlocker, and had to fight my sewing machine to get the buttonholes to happen on some parts which are multiple layers thick. But it all works, looks really good, and has been perfect for the unusually warm weather lately. I intend to make more, in many colours.
