I wore this jacket out and about today. I was comfortable and got a lot of compliments. I think I'll use this pattern again and do a different version in denim.

First Garment-January Jungle Sewalong
My first garment of the year and first for the January Jungle sew along ( see the button on the right) is this snake print jacket.
From this pattern, Simplicity 2341. On my version, I left of the collar and quilted the center front and center back panels. I also lined it.
I used a hera marker to place a couple of quilting guidelines. This marking tool is great because it marks by leaving an indention in the fabric that can easily be seen.
Quilt a piece of fabric the right general size of the pattern piece.
Then cut the pattern piece. It is time consuming but worth it if you want custom quilted fabric.
Here is a close up of the zippered pocket and you can better see the print on this faux leather fabric.
I have had the fabric in my collection for about 7 years and I don't have any idea where I purchased it.
