Last week at a thrift store I saw a nice brown linen jacket. I tried it on but it didn't fit me --too small. Before I even got home I knew exactly what pattern I was going to use to make my own version...this lovely 1940's one! I'm going to make the tie one with the long sleeves. I even bought some brown linen on sale a couple of weeks ago (last year's leftovers). The thrift store jacket was unlined with Hong Kong seams. I intend to copy it. Don't look for it for a couple of months --I'm overloading my "to do" stack lately!

Fill me in. What is a Hong Kong Seam?
@ Sassy -If you go to the Threads site or google it you can see examples of one. It's a seam edge that is bound with bias binding. It makes a great looking seam edge.
I even like the short sleeve with the tie - that would be cute, too. They are all great and you are slim, they will look great.
