I've just completed a swing jacket for fall. I used a pattern that I purchased at the ASG Expo this year but I modified the lapel. I wanted a slimmer lapel with a little interest. The fabric is home dec fabric that I purchased some years ago from Baer's Fabric Store in Louisville before they closed. So I've had a few years. Our ASG neighborhood group challenge this year was to use a home dec fabric for something that was not home dec so.....voila!! The style is so figure flattering for many shapes and it also fits many sizes. I love the fact that it is reversible. To hide the seams I made a mock flat felled seam and couched yarn over the stitch lines. The multicolor side is loosely woven so the couching doesn't show on that side. I also mad a pin for the lapel.
