Last time Kowtow had a sale I missed out on getting an Elda denim jacket.
They just had a other sale, and I found a Blueprint jacket on sale
but they had none left in siz size 😥.
So I had a go at sewing my own. I used the Merchant and Mills Ottoline jacket pattern. The only intentional mods were to shorten the jacket body a little, shorten the sleeves a lot, and change the shape of the collar (to make it more like the Kowtow ones). There were some major muckups (ie the unintentional mods) but I think I turned out something I can wear proudly.

| Worn over Sea Shephard tee, Next Union Jack singlet and thrifted jeans |

| My unintentional mods were at the sleeve vents. Ok and the side vents. |

| The green tinge to the denim inspired me to used green top stitching thread. It's a nice backdrop for my Extinction Rebellion badge 😁 |

Gorgeous!!!! You clever person you. I made a not-very-attractive skirt and a never-finished pinafore in form 2 sewing if I recall correctly.
why thank you :-)
The key is to keep going after your initial efforts because you have to practice to get better. I've been practicing on and off for 40 years !!
