Happy What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, all!<\/p>\n

If you’d like to see what other folks around the world are up to on this Wednesday, go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My desk today shows I’m in the midst of making this jacket out of black denim:<\/p>\n

\"jeans-jacket-pattern-butterick-5402\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nearly half of the pieces require fusible interfacing, so I hauled out my press to do the job.<\/p>\n

\"whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-black-jeans-jacket\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I inherited this press from my mother-in-law and just love it.\u00a0 I wish I had a place to keep this amazing tool set up all the time, it would certainly get more use.\u00a0 The lovely thing about using a press to apply fusible interfacing is that you get a complete fuse, no bubbles, no ripples and no missed spots.<\/p>\n

This is one project that makes me very thankful for patternreview.com, as there have been several problems noted with this pattern.\u00a0 Reviewers have said that the shoulders are actually far more dropped than in the sketch on the pattern cover, the sleeves are too narrow at the cuffs and the pocket placement is weird.<\/p>\n

You can kind of see these things in the below photo of the finished garment.\u00a0 (I have to wonder if it was deliberately made of a busy fabric so these problem wouldn’t be apparent?)<\/p>\n

\"B5402\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyhow, I decided to carry on with this particular pattern and make my own corrections because I couldn’t find another jeans jacket pattern with all the interesting style lines.<\/p>\n

I hope to finish it today and then I’ll be sure to post a review, including how all the changes can be made and pitfalls to avoid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
