Wonderful jacket
Absolu
Absolu is a great sewing project for someone who makes a jacket for the first time. This garment is ideal to become one of the most basic pieces of clothing in anyones closet. The instructions are clear and the video very helpful! The only part I struggled with was the bias binding which is needed everywhere in the garment!!! I will definately recoment it and I will surely make it again!
Turned out lovely. I am sure my sister will love it for her 80th birthday.

Really Good Pattern
This pattern ticked all the boxes for me: well drafted, multiple options and easy to sew. I had a stylish jacket that was sewn in a short time. The fit was great. The pattern calls for medium woven fabric but I think it might easily be adapted for a stable knit. I'm also going to try a quilted version. The pattern does not have that many pieces which leads to ample opportunity for creativity.
