Easy fit & sew CROPPED JACKET. Out of my comfort zone. Smitten (Pattern Emporium). New to me style!

The new Smitten jacket from Pattern Emporium is a cropped jacket and a tad out of my comfort zone! I typically wear longer jackets. I’m glad I tried this new to me style because it's just perfect for fit & flare styles and wide leg pants. I love the result. The jacket can be ultra cropped at the waist or cropped at the high hip and there are many cute options available. The sewing is not complex at all.
Come and join me and see how easily this jacket comes together! Let’s do some block fusing, marking, assembling & sewing focusing on the placket, hem band and sleeves.
The Smitten cropped jacket from Pattern Emporium comes in sizes 4-30AU and is 15% OFF through Monday 24th April 2023, noon in Australia eastern standard time (Sunday night around here). Discount appears at checkout, no code needed. This is my affiliate link: patternemporiu...
