Sew News: The Fashion Collection
Spring 2004

By Susan Voigt-Reising

Jean Scene

This hip-length jean jacket will be equally at home topping pants, a skirt, a casual dress--or our all-new skort (see Skort Story). McCall's 4385 (Misses'/Miss Petite sizes 8 to 22) features a pointed collar, slightly extended shoulders, button-cuff long sleeves and front and back yokes. Optional front and hem bands, and pocket flaps offer choice details. Denim, poplin, linen and cotton--especially printed in a trendy toile--are among the summer fabric favorites for this go-anywhere staple.

Add embroidery like our companion florals for a right-on summer look, then do up a version in tapestry, velvet or corduroy to take you right into fall.

Embroidery: Sew News Collection SNC08 (jacket design lower section) and SNC09 (collar design and jacket design upper section).
