I'm finished with the first Jacket of the Month going on at Stitchers Guild. Yay! The fabric is wool crepe, in a color called "Winter Sunshine", from
GorgeousFabrics. I liked the color's name, so decided to name my jacket the same. The pattern is an OOP, M 5711. I love this pattern. It has great details.
I've posted previously about the details and construction of this jacket. It went together beautifully. I will make it again. Sometime.
Here's some photos.
All it needs is a good press, which it will get when I'm in the mood. Or, I'll send it out. Now, on to #2!

What a pretty coat.
Beautiful jacket! I love the color and the buttons!
Your jacket is so beautiful and cheerful. I love how it turned out. If I had this jacket, I think I'd be smiling all the time. Great job!
What a beautiful jacket! The style is wonderful, but the color is the best -- perfect to cheer up a winter day!
Wow! What a fabulous jacket - I love all the style details and that colour is so beautiful and cheering. Perfect!!
This is just gorgeous! Perfect for those dreary winter days when you need a pick-me-up!
ooh I love all those pleats and the colour is gorgeous!
Aah I have waited 2 days to see this coat - I was on holiday with a place which could only get dial up Internet and it refused to download the photos - it is every bit as beautiful as I imagined and I am totally transfixed by how puckerless those darts are. They just melt into thin air. Amazing. This is a very beautiful piece of work all over.
How cute! What a great color!
I love your coat - so pretty!
Gorgeous! It is winter sunshine! I have that pattern but then wondered whether I'd like the dropped shoulder. Any thoughts on the way it looks or wears?
Love this design, and such a great colour too! It looks beautifully made.
Gwen, your jacket is absolutely gorgeous!!! Don't know yet what to make from my piece of the Winter Sunshine but it is such a "happy" color. Just gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing.
OMG! Miss Gwen, This coat is perfection. I love it. Great coat; the lines are clean and very stylish. I've had this pattern in my collection for over a year. Your version out shines the coat of the pattern envelope. Beautiful.
The yellow is so beautiful and a much-needed sunny site today! :) Gorgeous coat.
That is soooo cute!
Hey Gwen, I don't get out much to other sewing blogs, but I got your latest comment at mine, so here I am! I am so glad your husband's TIA turned out better than it could have. What a relief.
I made this jacket too!

I haven't worn it much because it seemed just a tiny bit snug (although, I have lost a few pounds since then). Also, the neck is very open, so I would want to wear a big scarf to fill in the gap, depending on how cold it was out. But I liked the concept enough that I am thinking of making it again.
Wow!! this is nice. Love your color choice. the back is fantastic!!
