Today I am sharing the first project of 2013, a peplum jacket in printed cotton canvas. I used New Look 6947 as the pattern.
Changes I made to the pattern include adding a lining and making a
bound buttonhole. I chose a fancy button
from my stash to add a little sparkle and style.
The peplum is very popular right now and is very flattering to my
shape.
This jacket is actually a pretty easy pattern. I was able to make it in a weekend. The cotton fabric in the floral print and the
¾ sleeves make it an easy piece for transitioning to warm weather.
