I seem to be sewing things in multiples lately. And I have also been extensively optimising my Charm patterns Patreon membership! So after my three Swing Coats<\/a>, let me introduce you to my two recently sewn Brooklyn Jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing to build my Mrs Maisel wardrobe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned in my previous article<\/a>, I have recently discovered the Prime Video series “The Marvellous Mrs Maisel”. It has quickly become my major source of sewing inspiration<\/strong>. I even purchased the mesmerizing book written by the show’s costume designer Donna Zakowska<\/a>, which I warmly recommend to anyone into 1950’s fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I adore dresses and so does Mrs Maisel. But like me she lives in a temperate climate (New York City) and needs to wear layers over her dresses in the winter – namely jackets, cute, cropped and obviously perfectly matched to her dresses<\/strong>. And so I needed jackets to!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect cropped jacket pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully Gertie of Charm Patterns seems to be as obsessed with Mrs Maisel’s wardrobe as I am. And her recently released Brooklyn Jacket pattern was exactly what I was looking for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Brooklyn jacket is a fully lined and fitted jacket offered in two lengths (waist or cropped) with two sleeve options (cap and three-quarter). It has a collar which can be easily omitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For my winter purpose, I chose the cropped version, with sleeves obviously, and without the collar. As such it perfectly substitutes for a cardigan – but looks way more elegant<\/strong>! (and takes far less times to make).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooklyn Jacket pattern review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with most of Gertie\u2019s patterns, I am an absolute fan. To be honest I can only see positive points in this pattern<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
