before i blogged: houndstooth jacket

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

Before I blogged I made this houndstooth jacket.
 

Outfit: Jacket: constructed by me (yay!); jeans: boutiqued in California; shoes: hand-me-downs; blouse: urban
I used a pattern for this jacket but took out a lot of the fullness and completely redesigned the collar. The collar is my favorite part. You can wear it up or down, it’s so fun! 

The black and white houndstooth fabric was a no-brainer. Right? Buy it! I made this three years ago and that is when my love for houndstooth started. I don’t know that I’ll ever not like it. It’s just so classic! 


The lining is a mint green and brown floral. Since black and white go with anything, I chose a crazy inside. It totally makes the jacket, don’t you think! I lined the sleeves with solid rayon so they slip over other fabrics easily when I put it on.

Before I blogged, I also bought these jeans and proceeded to destroy their knees over 5 years. I still wear them because now people look at me funny when they see that I have a child and ripped jeans. So NOT mom jeans! 

Are you a houndstooth lover, too?

    That is so cute! I love the lining too. The jeans comment cracks me up. I don’t think I even have a pair of jeans without holes in the knees… I’m always crawling around and kneeling in them. :)

    who said moms can rock ripped jeans. they stand corrected! you look absolutely fab in yours and the jacket is utterly fab. What a great surprise to open the jacket and get a cool print inside.
