January: The Month of the Jacket

I do kind of crack myself up...

This month I am making jackets. How many jackets? I don't know...as many as I can get myself through successfully!

They are mostly unstructured jackets; with an exception or two. Now, trust me, I have no intention on making ALL of these jackets this month!!!! But these are the jackets I'd *like* to make so I'm going to go for it!


Butterick 5928 (red view) with camel body and black sleeves


Vogue 8932 (the plaid view) for now in ivory fleece as a "wearable muslin"


Vogue 8865 (the middle view) in this floral cotton/lurex


McCall's 6844 - version 4(!) in brown (I might "cheat" and make this my January MAGAM item)


Simplicity 1699, my November garment of the month!!


Vogue 8863 in black for my daughter (with royal blue zipper placket and black lining) and this windowpane plaid for me (details unknown)


BurdaStyle Illusion Jacket 10/2012 #113 In this colorful wool blend boucle and black ponte sleeves. This jacket is actually a "gift" to myself when I reach my first goal of 8 lbs lost. I'm down 3.8 (I sucked the last 2 weeks of December) so maybe it'll be February's MAGAM item! We'll see! :)
