Comfy casual jacket

A review of Allie Olson Monarch Jacket

This is a nice little casual jacket. Construction is quite easy ( especially with an overlocker) . As it is a slightly boxy style I did not need to make any adjustments to fit  once deciding on sizing. I like the deep band design and the placement of the snappers which keeps this loose. The only bits requiring extra attention when sewing up we’re making sure the collar sat well into the front edges and ensuring the band depth was equal at the front. I also added a lining to the jacket. This is not included in the pattern but there is a vlog on You Tube which shows how to do this. The finished item is very comfy to wear.
