Sewing a Denim Jacket: Butterick B5187

 

 

 

 

I found this pattern in a charity shop. It is a pattern that is unattractively styled (in my opinion) there was only one view I liked: view d, but what the heck, it was 50p I bought it. That was in September 2013, by October of the same year I had sewn it in a peachy coloured baby needle-cord, I wore it a lot. I had always planned to make a Denim version. It took me almost 2 years to get around to it, so here is the ‘lowdown’….

 

The 50p pattern dated 2008.

 

 

The view and the denim…

A medium weight with a slight stretch.

I decided not to line it because it is to be a summer jacket.

Imagine the scene : a summers afternoon, a long walk, a stopover at the pub, its breezy, a jacket is needed, you know….nothing too heavy just something to cover the sun burned shoulders!

 

So instead I faced it with some fabric. I had already made a dress in the same fabric (and a pair of knickers) Quite by chance I had sewn an ‘outfit’

 

 

No I am not wearing the knickers and I wouldn’t show you even if I were!

 

 

 

 

It has two pleats at each side and four small ones at the back, so its quite boxy and very comfy…

 

 

My favourite features are the small slits on each sleeve, and of course the collar…

 

 

The top stitching was a beast, I sort of cheated and used a twin needle and then sewed almost slowly.
