craftgrrl | Black + White Ocelot/Leopard-Print Motorcycle Jacket!

So I made a motorcycle jacket! It's based off one I made a few years ago, but I didn't LOVE it. Everyone else did. I like my new one better. So does everyone else :D

So I changed the pattern up a bit. I made the zipper more diagonal, added zips up the sleeves, pockets with zips, and cropped it + added a waistband around the bottom. I also added a few big metal snaps.

The pattern I made has about 9 pieces, and I had to change a few of them around the zipper. I tokk it in 2cm on the sides too to make it a bit more fitted. It has darts front + back at the waist, mext time I will make them wider so it brings it in more.

I hate lining things, and I did good for most of it, I got lazy at the sleeves tho. They gave me the worst trouble. I ended up having to slice the sleeve in half lenghtways + add the zipper, then stitch the sleeve back together!

^^ Sleeve Zipper

I made this last night in about 5 hours (((that includes dinner :D)) including adjusting the pattern.

I spent the entire day sewing, the other dress I made for a custom order turned out so freaking cute too! The Sewing Gods were pleased with me yesterday I think!
