Simplicity and Clarity. A simple #softboiledegg that Alice made this morning. Bring cold water to a boil, wait one minute, turn off, add cold water to cool down the egg. Add freshly #crackedblackpepper, #seasalt & #extravirginoliveoil infused with lemon. #organiceggs Flavors are delicious and vivid. (Photo by Wilfred Wong, March 15, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

Inside - bound buttonholes, fusible interfacing. I also padstitched the collar, which made a huge difference!
Brightening up my monochromatic wardrobe!
Pattern: Simplicity 3631, View B
Fabric: Faux Suede
Notions: Three Dritz Half Ball Cover Buttons (1 1/2"); lining fabric for seam binding; 4" chain
Description: Jacket has oversized covered button fastenings, cropped cape-like raglan sleeves, and belt.
I cut jacket in a size 16, using a faux suede. This pattern is very easy, even a beginner could have smooth sewing on this. I didn't like the reversed pleats that the instructions suggested, so I made the pleats the "normal" way and topstitched them on the right side. I'm so accustomed to lining my jackets and since a lining was not required for this one, I used a Hong Kong finish for the seams. I found lining fabric in a similar color to the fashion fabric and cut 1" strips on the bias. I sewed these to my seam allowances by stitching 1/4" from the edge, trimmed to a scant 1/8", folded the bias strip over and ditch stitched on the right side. I also decided to go with bound buttonholes. I ran across a fantastic tutorial on the Sew-4-Fun blog... one of the easiest I've seen. I'll be using it for welt pockets also. And for a finishing touch, I added a hang chain to the back. I sewed this in right underneath the back facing. While snoop shopping, I noticed these were prevalent on high-end RTW jackets.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome of this jacket. I feel that I took a simple pattern and transformed it into a designer looking garment.

I bought it for yet another version of the baby kimono shirt. Unfortunately the promised 'primer' wasn't inside the envelope.
