July 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Damien’s jacket in the Great British Sewing Bee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I am honest this wasn’t my favourite jacket from that round of GBSB. However, my son really liked it, and was actually very enthusiastic for me to make it for him. He even offered to come fabric shopping with me. I think I ended up buying the black denim online (Minerva), but got the dark grey needle cord from Leon’s in Chorlton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the pattern Damien based it on. I had to rewatch the episode to try and figure out what he did to make it more of a jacket than a shirt. I added four patch pockets that copied the shape of the yoke, and then lengthened the front yoke flaps to cover the top pockets, and made up flaps for the lower pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the pattern had a huge gap between the kids size and adult size, just where my son fitted…. so did the smallest man’s size, as my son has the habit of growing!!! It is just a bit too big for him, so I wouldn’t win the made-to-measure round, but he will grow into it very soon!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I channelled my very best inner Damo and used a big ‘ammer for the jean style buttons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the finished article. Could do with a version with kid wearing it.. He was pretty pleased with it – lots of pockets for his playing cards for magic tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
