I had the change to put my hands on a beautiful tech-fabric in a quite wearable color.
For the lining I looked for something with a bit of color and I found this poly satin, very drapey and slippery. What a pain to cut and to sew it up! I used a french seam for the lining because this fabric frays like crazy!
I modified the pattern doing a FBA, and removing the shoulder shirring.
There is a Hoodie too bu the fabric I chose it is way too soft and it turned out not very functional.
My first plan was to skip the pocket inside and sew a pair of insean pockets on the hip sides like here : https://sew-well.com/2012/01/26/minoru-sew-along-side-seam-pocket-tutorial/.
It was a bad move as the lower pocket was about to be caught in the hem....
The solution I chose was to remove that hanging thing and draft a single lip welt pocket.
It is my first pair and I am pretty satisfied with the result.
I wore the jacket on saturday (very sunny day) for the flea market, and I find it cozy and nice.
Anyway it is too light for the winter weather, and I put it in the closet waiting for the spring.
