Hi friends, I made a new jacket using Burdastyle 01/2023 pattern and gingham check wool blend fabric from my stash. The jacket has simple design and fully lined, cozy off the shoulder style, in seam pockets and finished with front zipper. Perfect to wear daily.

And I sewed the in seam pockets. I decided to add a bit of the gingham fabric to the pocket pieces. This method made the pockets invisible. The process below is how I sew the in seam pocket, in a clockwise direction. The look of the pockets from the wrong side. I sewed the lining and after that attached the collar pieces to both necklines (the main jacket and the lining). And I pinned the zipper and basted it. After that, I pinned the main fabric and the lining right sides together. And then, I sewed the zipper and the collar....

Zipper band extension, made from medium weight fabric (2x) 4.5 cm x 8.5 cm. Zipper 22 cm long. All my fabrics and notion are from my stash. The sewing process was fast and enjoyable, I did it in one afternoon.

Don't need overlocker or bias tape band to secure the raw edges. The inner pouch is neat and fluffy, which I really like it :) In case you are interested in seeing the making o...
