DIY Shirt Jacket (Shacket), Burdastyle Pattern

Hi there, Happy New Year and I wish you all the best in 2025 💖 Today's post is about the finished shirt jacket (shacket) I started working on in October last year. It was delayed because I was doing other things but well, I'm glad I finished it and look forward to wearing it daily. It's a simple and comfy shacket. It has low shoulders and is finished with a straight hemline. I used Burdastyle long jacket 9/2023 size 40 for the pattern and shortened the length.  For the fabric, I used cotton chino in beige from my stash. Also, the rest of the notions were from stash, yay! for not buying anything new 😍 The sewing process started in October last year. I did it in my free time, but unfortunately, I couldn't finish quickly. And then, other projects came and I put this shacket aside. As usual, I pinned and sewed the back pieces together as shown below. And then, sewed the front and back pieces together. Fused the f...

Weekend Outfit




 
 


Hello...
I made another basic wear last week. I used the leftover fabric from my infinity scarf and I am happy that the sweatshirt matched so well with my self-drafted pencil skirt.
Spring is finally here, the weather is still foggy with high humidity but anyway... I just hope that the sun will come out one day :)

My family and I went to Fisherman's Wharf and Sands Macao for a walk yesterday and I used the opportunity to wear my outfit. After all, I like my new sweatshirt. The fabric is so soft, draped nicely and it doesn't make me sweat.

Material:
1.5 yards of knit cotton in emerald blue
thread

Pattern :
This is my third version of Moda Diana pattern no 75 -3P size 34/36 with variation. I added sleeve and hem bands. Which the final result is different than the original pattern. You can check my first and second version
The size of the sleeve band is 16cm x 8cm and the size of hem band is 90cm x 8cm. All the final results are 4cm width of bands.

The sewing process was quite fun and fast. I fold the neckline at the seam allowance inside, pin and sew it using the twin needle. And for the finished bands, I also pin, pull the band fabric and sew it using the twin needle too. You can see my work on sewing the sleeve and hem bands here in my previous post

Happy sewing!

  2. It's a perfect outfit for a walk. A lovely little top and I love the skirt - is that a knit as well? If so, this would be a very comfortable outfit - and very pretty as well.

    1. Yes, they were perfect for walk. The skirt fabric is medium cotton and I added back slit/vent to make the skirt wearable :)
