A jacket for Jamie

I've had this black and white check fabric sitting around for a while now. I just couldn't make up my mind what to make with it...a dress? Skirt? Bag?
I decided to look through my sewing books for inspiration, and suddenly came across a lovely pattern for a reversible jacket for Jamie in Sewing for Boys!
I had seen it in there before when using the book for other things, but had never made it....I thought it would be perfect for the fabric!
I teamed it with a beige ripstop, patch pockets, and some chunky self cover buttons...and voila!
A lightweight, reversible jacket for Spring!
He seems to like it...haha! (apparently the sunglasses were NOT optional!)

Thanks for looking!

Sewing for Boys!

I ordered my copy the other day from Amazon, and it arrived yesterday! I can't wait to get sewing from it, there's some gorgeous things in there for Jamie, from trousers and jackets to hats and brick bags!

I'm also going to be taking part in the Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy! Sewing for Boys sew-a-long (wow, that's a lot of boys in that sentence lol!) that starts at the beginning of January - you'll see the button over there on the right, under 'My Inspiration' >>>>

I'm an impatient sort, though, so you might see a few projects rolled out before then....ha ha!

Thanks for looking!
