I love your jacket, I agree the shorter one in that gorgeous denim would be gorgeous x

[janetr]

It’s really nice Sarah .. wear it with confidence x

[JaneyJane_sews]

That Jacket is lovely. I have liked that pattern for a while. I think I would use a button and buttonhole to fasten the inside and do a short tie with the D rings. Hot flashes require a quick exit from clothing. 😃

Sarah your jacket is GORG!! I actually really liked it open also. So beautifully made as always. 😍

That is a seriously funky jacket!! Great work! It looks so cool! I love the Sam the Cat story. I have cross stitch from when I was really young and I have to having up too! I love seeing it. What a lovely start to your crafty journey!!! I’ve made the Heather and I would totally recommend it! Xxx

The jacket looks great on you. Very flattering fit and length. I made my second Sienna with a one button closure— just a thought….

[catherinepearce]

Really love the style of your sienna jacket. Looks lovely on you. I think I would want to wear it done up too. I do like the look of the shorter jacket too. Getting stuck into sewing I find is a great way of focusing the mind when life throws us curveballs x

I think the collar and lapel is beautiful on that jacket and it would look so good with buttons instead of the belt! ”Double” buttons like a classic wool blazerif you know what I mean. Then it would look lovely worn open as well.
Thanks for sharing Sarah, as usual very informative and inspiring ❤

I’m mesmerised by your top, it’s gorgeous, the grey one with the flower really lovely too, have just downloaded the pattern and whizzed it up in a 10 which is fine but quite fitted which I think looking at Tammys fit it is supposed to be but I think I will size up for my next one, thank you once again for pattern recommendation 😊 jacket is fab too btw Xx

First time I’ve seen this jacket made up. It looks amazing in your striped fabric. I am looking forward to seeing your version of the Ilford. I’ve almost bought that soo many times 🤣🤣 I do have the Heather baker though and have plans to make that up this summer. 🤞 I love your cross stitch cat. I bought a simple cross stitch kit at stitch fest for a friend who’s having a horrid year. She’s now tackling a much bigger kit. It’s amazing to see the power of creativity - it really can be life changing 😍

Great vlog as always love the jacket closed but know what you mean about it open but it’s a great sew well done ❤❤

[jeanettespracklen]

Your jacket. You could put belt loops on the side seams so as you have it undone, the jacket is open but the belt is tethered. Or, you could make an inside pocket for the belt to sit in.

Love this jacket on u, fab job. U need to wear it now and not let it rot away in your wardrobe lol I have done that with so many makes.
Go for the heather blazer soon u will love it. I’ve made five and will still make more

I understand going thru tough times and needing to get into the sewing again. Im not a fashion sewist, but I am a quilter. Have lost my quilt-jo recently because of stresses and my long recovery from an accident. Today, I actually got back into it😊, it did help a lot. You are so right on the need to do something creative. I liked the jacket belted. You are very talented. Im a new viewer. Going to subscribe. Love that printed denim. Very unusual and super cool.

I love your jacket. I have that pattern. I must get it made. I'm really looking forward to seeing how your denim jacket turns out. Have a lovely weekend ❤

[lovesredsews]

Great to see this pattern made up & to hear your thoughts on it 😀

[Golfgirlv]

Love that jacket! I wonder if you could put a couple of belt loops inside the jacket to tuck the belt away ’in a pinch’ If it got warm out and you needed to open the jacket? Thanks for sharing it. I would be very interested to see the short version made up

[derynporter]

Thanks so much for the rundown on the Sienna Maker jacket. It’s on my pile of future makes. Good call on the belt. I think that’s what was making me think it wasn’t a summer make although it is a lovely style. I’ve opted for a Sew Liberated Sylvan jacket for a summer jacket.

The jacket is fabulous and the fabric is perfect for it. You did a wonderful job on it, it is beautifully finished and it fits brilliantly 🤩 Your precious denim fabric is lovely and reminds me of marbled denim jeans I had when I was a teenager and I adored them and wore them to death😂 Are you sure you don’t need a pair of jeans in that fabric?🤣
