If you’re looking for a quick, fun summer sewing project for yourself, here’s a suggestion: our Lisette for Butterick B6464<\/a> jacket!<\/p>\n

\"Lisette<\/a><\/p>\n

This spring I sewed two jackets from this pattern, just for the fun of it, and they go really quickly. They’re also a great summer layer for air conditioning and cool evenings, which we have a lot of. The cropped, swingy style is really easy to wear over lots of things.<\/p>\n

For my first version, I used the reverse side of some leftover Robert Kaufman Draper Denim<\/a> from another project. The bands are from a small remnant of Japanese cotton I bought at Drygoods Design<\/a> when I was visiting last fall. It’s a fascinating wavy weave that I was saving for just the right project. This jacket will definitely see lots of wear and might even become part of my summer core wardrobe!<\/p>\n

Isn’t that wavy fabric for the bands interesting? It’s woven that way, complete with little nubs in the white threads. I’m slightly obsessed with it.<\/p>\n

\"Lisette<\/a><\/p>\n

This fabric will relax a bit as I wear it (and maybe I should give it a final pressing, too, which I don’t think I ever did…).<\/p>\n

Do you remember a while ago when I told you I had sewed something for myself that felt very out of character to what I normally wear? Well, this is it.<\/p>\n

\"Lisette<\/a><\/p>\n

I was looking for a drapey fabric like sateen or even satin or chiffon, but I fell in love with this bright floral on a neutral gray ground. (This print also came with a black ground, but the gray felt right for summer.) This is actually a quilting cotton, which certainly isn’t what I originally wanted, but sometimes the print is more important, right? I added flat piping for definition since I wanted to use the same fabric for the neck band and sleeve bands.<\/p>\n

This floral version of the jacket is more “on trend,” which might be why it doesn’t feel like me. But I’m seeing a lot of them right now, and I’ve pinned quite a few to my Lisette for Butterick B6464 Pinterest board<\/a> to inspire you. Sometimes it’s nice to see a pattern made up in a variety of fabrics, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

I’ll show you the sleeveless tops I’ve sewn from this pattern next week, and I’ll also show you how to do a full bust adjustment for this style, since that will be useful to anyone larger than a B cup.<\/p>\n

Oh, and one more thing: Butterick has a nice video that shows off this style in motion! You can see it here, toward the end of the video<\/a>. And here is another video in which Doree, who helps translate my designs into sewing patterns, talks about the pattern in more detail<\/a>. I hope you make it and show us how it turns out! Be sure to tag #sewlisette and #B6464 on your Instagram photos so we can see! You can pick up the pattern right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
