| ABO Jacket. |
Easy fitting and easy to make jacket/shirt. A little short??? maybe next time a little longer. Its made from red pique' and I added shoulder pads to give it a little more shape. First time I have made /used one these patterns and enjoyed the easy shapes and thorough directions. I don't do a lot of overlocking on my clothes, I just like to think that they are as beautiful on the inside as outside, but I followed Louise directions and overlocked.
I have made into a tunic that I wear as a cover to the beach. I have a hectic schedule in the morning deciding which beach to walk and have breakfast. At Avoca I have to paddle across the lagoon and like to wear something ' shortish'. So I have been making a few coverups.
This is the new pattern , can you believe that I cut a small? Louise make you feel so good... I made it from a med weight linen in my favourite basic colour navy. Has a very similar feel to the jacket in that it is easy fitting and very comfortable. Next time I will do a fancier finish to the sleeves so that I can turn them back.

Both pieces are quite lovely. I've made ABO but only in an extended 3/4 length coat. I wondered about the length of the original pattern. It is such an easy shape to wear and as you say, LC's instructions are quite nice. I know I'll make this again soon in its original length, so good to know it runs a bit short. Looks great on you though.
