Last week I featured a jacket I made from Kwik Sew pattern 3236, and this is another jacket made from the same pattern. I used five different fabrics: one windowpane linen, two silk-linen burnouts, and two plain linens. I could not find one fabric I envisioned, linen with a small pink and green print, so I embroidered my own. I also embroidered the buttonholes and the inserts in the sleeves.
I did not use the applique design included in the pattern though I originally thought I would do so. I added lime green piping in the yoke seam and fabric covered buttons.
I wore this jacket with a pink linen skirt and shell for Easter the year I created it and think I will do so again this year. I feel that the delicate colors are just perfect for early springtime. And I even have pink shoes to match!
Happy Easter!
