I have been sewing a quilt the last few months. So now it us time to start sewing apparel again. I am sewing McCall's 7638, which is a shirt-jacket or a "shacket".
I am making figure A, it has a collar and is lined. I bypassed on this pattern until I saw this picture in a Joann's advertisement. It doesn't look anything like the drawing on the pattern.
While visiting Joe's mom in Juneau, AK last month, I went to their Joann's to see what they had. It is a far bigger one than here by our house. I ended up buying some beautiful blue flannel for this pattern. I then ordered the blue sherpa for the lining from Joann's when we arrived home. Everything on sale, of course.
I decided to make a muslin in large with two inches added to the sleeves to see how it fits using my Bernina 930 sewing machine.
The muslin fits fine but I think I will only add one inch to the sleeves of the shacket.
You can see the plaid I am using in the picture.
Thanks for stopping.
