Outer Wear Series #2

Hey Everyone...

Continuing our Series on Outer Wear every Wednesday.. 

I always loved McCall's 6611 pattern and wanted to do some with Ankara fabric, so I put the 2 together. I order this fabric about 2 months ago. The Blue-black suiting fabric was from Fabric.com about $2.95 a yard and the Ankara fabric was from my favorite Etsy store, TAMBO Collections about $6.95 a yard . She was has such great prices and beautiful ankara designs..       

So without any further ado..

Here she is, I haven't named her yet as I do most of my garments. 

So for now she will remain nameless..

LOL

I had this pattern for a while, but was really scare to use it.

I finally got the nerve and I can honestly say, it was easy to make.. 

  

McCall's 6611

I didn't line the jacket, only lines parts that will show like the neckline, back bottom and front flaps.

The directions wasn't confusing at all, I just did my own thing when it came to the lining..  

Picture below shows the front panel and lining 

Put they together faces each other

I put interfacing in neckline to give the jacket some stability

I have a Mini Serger but she broke on me, use a zigzag stitch if you don't have a serger.  

It's not perfect but works for me..

LOL 

After putting all of the pieces together this is how inside of the garment looks.

As I said, I didn't line garment.

Almost finished Jacket..
