Coco Chanel introduced her first tweed jacket in her 1954 collection. Since then, the tweedy boucl\u00e9 fabric has evoked a sense of understated luxury attainable by only a few lucky people. But what if you could find a piece of fabric that you could manipulate into whatever you wanted and create for yourself the same kind of look\u2014quiet luxury? I know what I would do. I\u2019d buy the fabric and make myself a jacket!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, when I saw the Coco fabric<\/a> (SKU-TR5413-0030) on offer this year and noticed that it was a knit (making it oh-so-comfortable), I knew I had to make a jacket. And it was a pattern I\u2019d had for a while, awaiting just the right fabric\u2014Butterick 5926<\/a>\u2014I finally found it. The pattern is designed to be a jacket that wears like a sweater\u2014the fabric requires a bit of stretch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I liked the combination of textile types in the fabric: 77% Polyester, 10% Wool, 6% Cotton, 5%Acrylic and 2% Spandex. As I always do, I prepared the fabric before starting by washing a 4 X 4 sample and drying it in a low dryer. It came out beautifully, so I prepared the entire length of fabric in the same way. Then, I turned my attention to the pattern.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, I had to make a few adjustments to perfect the design for me. I wanted to do View D because I wanted full-length sleeves and a longer length. What I discovered was that the length was too long to be flattering, so I shortened it by one and a half inches at the waist before proceeding to the cutting stage.<\/p>\n

I have always loved tailored jackets and have made a few in my lifetime. This unlined version made from slightly stretchy fabric would be a bit different. It occurred to me that it might need just a bit more interior support than the pattern instructions called for, so I interfaced both the upper and lower collar as well as the front facing and an inch and a half of the interior of the jacket front. I used woven stretch interfacing for this, then cut a slightly heavier non-woven interfacing to add structure to the shoulders in both the back and the front. I was pleased I\u2019d done this; otherwise, it would have been too slouchy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As I sewed the jacket together, I realized that I\u2019d have to figure out a way to make the seams lie flat. I finished the seams on the serger so that I could open them up and run two lines of top-stitching\u2014one on each side of the seam. I did this for all the seams, except for the underarm sleeve seam (which was too tricky to access). This approach resulted in beautiful flat seams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then, there was the edge of the collars and the front of the jacket to contend with.<\/p>\n

When I applied the facing and collar, there was little doubt that something would have to be done with the edges. I opted to top-stitch, and it made all the difference in how well the collar sat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My main observation about this fabric is that, although it is smooth to the touch on the wrong side, the right side is scratchy. For anyone with sensitive skin, a stretch lining in any garment made from this would work well. If you plan to make a Chanel-style skirt or dress from this, it should definitely be lined. And I would not use it for children\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n

I really love the look and versatility of a tailored jacket, and this is one I\u2019ll be wearing on repeat during the upcoming season!<\/p>\n
