I have used this pattern twice and have plans for a third. It is, as the name suggests, a jacket that swings - in the sense that it is A line and roomy. The construction is incredibly easy and it's a great pattern for beginners. @themakersatelier has advice on how to lengthen it and how to make it with lining which makes me think of a longer fancier version to wear with my suit pants. And a lighter also longer floaty version for the summer? And how about many versions in all colours of boiled wool? Uuhh, and adding buttons? You see, the sky is the limit.
Oh, and I did a bias finishing, which wasn't nearly as time-consuming as I was afraid it would be.

I’ve made these two jackets as Christmas presents for my mother and mother in law. The shorter one is using a Linton tweed from their new range and the other (awaiting buttons) is boiled wool from stitch fabrics. Both are lined in silk crepe de chine and have faux fur cuffs from my stash box! Thank you for the lovely, easy to follow patterns. I normally draft my own but yours are so beautifully written and make up so well — why make work for myself!
