I have entered the realm of jackets. This one was fairly easy to make and I am pleased with it. I feel like it was accurately represented by the illustration on the pattern. It is another Built by Wendy pattern. I think the shape is cute, but it’s one of those things that will require very unusual circumstances for wearing. It isn’t very warm because of the short, open sleeves and neck. It only looks good with long sleeves under it, so it has to be a somewhat cool day, but not cold enough to need a real jacket over it. The full sleeves will prevent it from layering under a warmer coat. I guess it would fit comfortably under a cape or poncho, but I’ve never felt like the kind of person who can pull those things off.

This is pretty cool, and I have been very deliquent with the comments, but I have been watching and reading your site. The gray hoodie is by far my favorite, but that is typical for me. And I can't agree more with you about the size of prints... the bigger the better, one paisley per item I say. - Moose
Wow, I never liked that jacket as shown on the pattern. I just didn't get it. However, your version is so cute and I could totally see myself wearing it. I think it's because the one on the pattern makes me think "people who own and use boats on the weekend and are a bit preppy."
