It’s wonderful to have a quick sewing project that we can accomplish in a couple of hours. It’s ALSO wonderful to make something more substantial which will become an investment piece in our closet. It also reminds us that we can do hard things.

Join me as I journal the experience of making the Jasika Blazer for the first time! I’ve included all the nitty gritty, from getting started to selecting fabric, to procrastinating, to over-thinking, to biting the bullet and getting the muslin sewn. See me install sleeves, make a welt pocket, work with a vented back, and create the collar that makes this jacket really sing.
