Laowai

I finally finished this little jacket that I've been working on for a long time.

The pattern is called the Tamarack Jacket from Grainline Studio. It was a little bit of a leap of faith because I did all the quilting by hand and I didn't make a muslin to make sure it actually fit me. Luckily it does fit and I love how it feels. I think you will be able to find me wearing it around the house all winter long. The pattern was very easy. It was just a little time consuming with the hand quilting. I love the peek of contrasting fabric when I roll up the sleeves. You can also make this pattern with pre-made quilted fabric or you can do the quilting by machine. 

The flowery fabric is from Cotton + Steel, called Emilia Adele. The chambray on the outside is a curtain from IKEA.

And just as I'm posting these pictures I notice that I missed a line of quilting. Look above. Oops. 

I ordered the snaps from Noodlehead – she has a great tutorial for attaching them.

OK now I must go outside – this little jacket makes me want to go for fall walks.
