New favourite jacket is an old favourite

 
 I need a new camera.  This rather grainy image doesn't do justice to my new favourite Autumn jacket - an old favourite for some of you.  I've used Burda 04/09 jacket 116 and can only conclude that this is a great pattern.  My fabric, a khaki/brown/black ponte is so comfortable to wear and holds up well after a long day at work.  It is rather late and I need to head off for bed, but wanted to post a wearing photo before I changed into the jamies.  The inside of the jacket is pretty impressive, so will post a more detailed review tomorrow.

  2. Oh yes, I like it! It's very smart but in no way dull! It's a jacket that could be dressed up or down, would go with so many outfits. I would really like one myself but so far I have been too lazy to trace off any Burda patterns.

    Like Lisette, I'll look forward to seeing more details.

  5. Fantastic jacket! I have some grey ponte I'm thinking of making into a jacket, so your post is perfectly timed. When I was taking my SWAP pics I realised just how crappy my camera is, too.

  6. Great jacket. I have one made up in this pattern too, and its a real workhorse. Mines not a stretch fabric- using ponte is a fabulous idea!
