Today I am back on the Minerva Blogger Network with a new project. After having lusted for the Sienna Maker Jacket from Closet Core Patterns for a while, it finally made it to the top of my sewing list. I had fun working with this pattern.

To break all that cobalt blue twill I chose to use in my jacket, I selected 9 black and white buttons I already had in my stash and for the back facing, I used a sewing themed leftover fabric. Unfortunately, I did not have enough for the sleeve pockets lining so I used some fat quarters instead.
