Jean Jackets

Spiritual -  "I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee"  (Jer 31,3)  This is the simple story of his love for us. This story never ends, because God is eternal and his love is eternal.  Only sin can separate us, but even then, God's love is ever faithful.  He will stop at nothing, even letting us suffer the circumstances of our sin, to draw us back to his outstretched arms.


Sewing - I love making and wearing jean jackets.  Why? 
  • They go together fast. 
  • They do not have to be lined.
  • They do not have to be fitted as well as dress jacket.
  • They can be made of many types of fabrics, from linen to upholstry.
  • A coverstitch machine can be used to do the topstitching!
One of my bff, Diane, and I have made dozens of jean jackets and have used two patterns the most,  McCalls 5191, and Kwik Sew 2895. We first made of muslin of KS 2895 and made fitting changes to the pattern pieces. Using these changes, we adjusted Mc 5191. Now, all we need is new fabric and off we go. I will be teaching this jean jacket process when I start my sewing school.
