Being it is Summer, I found some wonderfully thick flannel on sale at Joann's. I also found Butterick 6916 which is a shacket.
I decided to make a muslin to verify sizing. I made size medium with two inches added to the sleeve length.
The sizing looked perfect. I did not add the cuffs, so the sleeves might look a little short.
I used my Necchi Esperia for the muslin. This is a Necchi from 1959 that was free on Facebook Marketplace just a few miles from me. It is a wonderful straight-stitcher in a beautiful desk.
I decided to use my Lana machine to make the shacket. It is a very smooth straight-stitcher I bought at the thrift store.
The pattern didn't call for an inner yoke. I added one to make the inside look a little more finished. Since the sleeves were set-in, I decided to serge the seams with my Brother 534.
It had interesting sleeves where the cuff attached. Instead of a placket, there is simply an opening.
I used my Greist buttonholer with my Lana to make the buttonholes.
I used my Bernina 840 Favorit to sew on the buttons.
Here it is:
This shacket should come in handy when the weather cools off.
Thanks for stopping.
