My 90s Self is Happy

A review of Hey June Handmade Fairmount Shacket

Reviewed by Karen L on 16th March, 2022

Love this pattern so much! I ordered and had Brenda print this one — everything about this shacket works well. The instructions are clear and everything comes together easily: no collar stand means the collar is a breeze, everything is french seamed, the drop shoulder means no setting in the sleeves. And the sleeve placket is easy.

The only modification I had to make on this version is to lengthen the sleeves by 2″ but that has to do with my very long arms. I also changed the buttonholes in the front from 6 to 5 but only because I only had 9 buttons on hand.

My measurements are 34″ bust, 25″ waist, 36″ hip and I made the size 2, which is the perfect oversize for me. This is my second Fairmount and my favourite so far!
