Kennis Wong, pattern designer extraordinaire and author of a new book. This jacket is part of this book.
I was so excited when Kennis sent me this book, Sew Beautiful, which I wrote an endorsement.
I knew right away I wanted to make the Taktsang jacket and had the perfect fabric from Style Maker Fabrics. My fabric is from last year and I had just been waiting for the perfect pattern. The Taktsang was that perfect pattern.
The Taktsang is a quick make, the sleeves are grown on. A facing, hem and the belt, wow, finished all way.
I lengthened the jacket and sleeves by one inch and made a size 8. This jacket is so quick to make and the self belt is perfect addition. I do want to find a leather or leather-like belt for this look, too.
The shape of this jacket is so amazing, I wanted to try it opened. The belt was tied in the back and the front left open. This is my favorite way to wear it.
Love it!
