Minoru Jacket

Want to see what kept me busy over the summer (well, other than kids, enjoying the sunshine, vacation etc.)?  The Minoru Jacket from Sewaholic.

Easy to read instructions and a helpful sew-along that takes you step-by-step through the process if needed!


I extended the length of the bodice and the arms by one inch and it fits like a charm.  I'm always having problems finding shirts/sweaters/jackets that are long enough for me, so being able to adjust this pattern was a real treat. I seriously cannot even express how awesome it is to put this jacket on.  IT FITS!



I added pockets to the front because I hate having to bring my purse everywhere and really wanted to just be able to carry a card (or two) and my keys in my coat.  The pattern is designed with a pocket on the inside of the jacket, but I decided on the easier-access kind; keys in front pocket = quick.



Thanks Tasia for creating such a beautiful pattern - so proud that you're Canadian!  :)
