Matching Jacket

Skull print bolero jacket

This is Simplicity 2478, view C. I made it exactly as per the pattern (for once!) and then embellished it with the very last tiny pieces of my broderie anglais trim and a pretty red frog fastener.

What can I say? It went together really easily! It helps if you have prior experience of sewing together convex and concave curves, otherwise attaching the band can be a little tricky, but there are no separate sleeves to set in, and it was a very fast piece to sew.

Obviously it’s intended to go with the little skirt I made the other day, but I think it would also smarten up plain black jeans and a t-shirt very nicely indeed.
