Inspiration...Suede Jacket

 This might be an inspiration to work on through out the year for the fall.  

This is the Relaxed Suede Trucker Jacket from Banana Republic.  Price tag: $500.00.  Details: relaxed fit through shoulders, chest, and waist; spread collar with snap closure; chest pocket with snap closure; side pockets; one interior pocket (welt pocket); straight hem; fully lined.

This is a gorgeous take on the classic denim jacket.  You know that I have pattern ideas.  

This is the Audrey Jacket pdf pattern from Seamwork.  This pattern has a few more pieces on the front than the inspiration photo but it does have the side welt pockets without making the big patch pockets. If you are a Seamwork member, you can see all of the wonderful jackets that have been made with this pattern.  Be aware that this pattern has been designed for denim or canvas.  

Other patterns to concern - Style Arc Stevie Jean Jacket (oversized but with the welt pockets), Itch to Stitch Atenas Jacket pdf pattern (affiliate link, jacket has welt pockets), and Simplicity S8845 (sized for women, men, teens with welt pockets and  a sew along).

I have found a new source for faux leathers and faux suede.  Both of these links are affiliate links.  I particularly like the red and gray and may order some swatches to see the actual color.

Hope you are inspired.

Happy Stitching!
