A Pink Corduroy Jacket

It was a day I was in Joanne's fabrics and patterns were 99¢ that I came across this new pattern for a jacket.  Having "easy" stamped on the front cover made it seem like I couldn't go wrong!  I pictured it made in several fabrics with the same tone instead of in the different colors shown on the envelope.

I think all those ruffles attracted me to the shape of this jacket.

The finished jacket!  It is made of pink "featherwhale" corduroy that I had previously made a skirt out of and had in my fabric stash.  The ruffles are just a few remnants of pink polka-dot cotton prints I also had on hand.  The lining is the typical "apparel lining" found on the shelf at Joanne's fabrics.

I made the jacket in a girl's size 7 for Marin, but it ended up being way bigger than that.  Here is Naya (age 14) wearing it, but it is just a little snug - and sleeves too short on her.  I guess Marin will just have to wait a few years to enjoy it.  Disappointing to get a size I was not expecting, but not a totally bad experience making my first jacket.
