This jacket was made from a cotton jacquard fabric. I used a Mccall’s pattern in size 16 and it was a good fit except I had to shorten the sleeves but this is always the case.
I went to the Original Sewing and Quilt EXPO in Atlanta this month, be sure to go if there is one near you. I took a course on sewing techniques with Kathy Ruddy www.kathyruddy@earthlink.net and after the class had her fit me with a do it yourself shoulder pad kit. She showed me how to make my own shoulder pad and compensate for one shoulder being lower than the other. This is three projects into the future so I’ll let you know how it worked.
