About three years ago my mom and I were shopping for my prom dress fabric when the owner of the fabric store pulled me aside to show me something he knew I would love. It was about two yards of a pink and white Chanel fabric. He gave me a great deal on it because I wouldn't leave without bringing it home!
Between finishing high school and starting college I completely forgot about the gorgeous fabric I bought! A few months ago when I was home I saw it in my closet and began planning what I would make with it. I wanted it to be entirely my design. Because it is heavy I decided to make a jacket but the bright pink color made it more of a spring/ fall color scheme.
The patterns took about two days to complete and then the muslin sample fit perfectly! I was am so proud of myself to be able to make a pattern from scratch! I guess these past few years in school have been worth it ;) I made the actual jacket today in about two and half hours. It is completely lined and fits exactly like I imagined!
I have made plenty of jackets before but this is the first one that I designed from scratch!
I can't wait to wear it this Thanksgiving with jeans and heels!!
I love this jacket!
