Simplicity 2313- third time

I have made this jacket for me with the zipper and for Erin with the buttons, and now I made it one more time for Erin.  It is the same view A, with some changes.  I used the sleeves from Simplicity 2256.
I thought these were more of the style I wanted for her jacket.  I compared the two pattern pieces and the caps were the same but the sleeves on 2313 are fuller.  She will be wearing this in the classroom over a top or dress, so I thought she might want a slimmer sleeve.

One other change was to eliminate the gathered collar.  I just cut 2 pieces from the under collar pattern piece.  The fabric is a Vera stretch sateen from fabric.com.  This one seemed a bit thicker than the white I used in her McCall's jacket.

a few wrinkles on the right side (looking at it) I think from the dressform.


I am not through with jackets for her, going to work on another one from red Vera stretch sateen, going to try and squeeze it out of my yardage.  It might become 3/4 sleeve.
