1970s Butterick Jacket

Butterick 3363 is definitely under way.  The muslin I made from this size 38 jacket pattern fit fine after lengthening the body 1 inch and the arms 2 inches.  It has a slimmer fit than the Butterick 6022 jacket I made.

I purchased this pattern because  I liked the Butterick 6022 jacket I made a few months ago.  It had a good fit, especially in the armscyes, with only the sleeves needing lengthened to fit me.

I decided to use a light-blue cotton material for the jacket and a dark blue polyester as the lining. I bought both  at Walmart for $1 a yard. It will look Groovy!  I think the Bradys would approve.





I am using a premade chest-piece from Wawak.com, even though the directions for this jacket show how to make one.


More on my new jacket project next time.

Thanks for stopping.

    I love those premade jacket fronts. A true bargain IMO.

    The Butterick 6062 looks like an 80's pattern, and the 3363 has a 70's look. The latter as you have chosen should be a better fit for you, as the 80's jacket will be slightly oversized. Also those wide lapels will be cool! Good luck!
