Monday Morning Inspiration

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday! All of our snow has officially melted and with opening day of the Cubs (baseball team), it is officially spring. Yea! A few weeks ago I did this post on spring trends and one of the big trends for spring is the baseball jacket. So I decided to do a little looking around for some inspiration and I found the pictures below.

This jacket is by far my favorite. Just love the mix of patterns. Great jacket.

A sheer version.

I thought this one was rather cute. Look closely as the flowers along the lower portion are three dimensional.

A pretty and understated version in wool.

This is my second favorite. I especially like the shaping around the bust.

Some interesting versions.

These quilted and embroidered jackets are beautiful.

And now for a little over the top fun;
How about a studded and spiked version?!!

 Or this from Harvey Creative. Baseball jacket meets kimono. Fun!

If you would like to make a jacket of your own, here's a link to a pattern from New Look, http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/61637. Paper Cut Patterns also has a version of the baseball jacket that they call the Rigel Bomber Jacket.

 

You can find that pattern here, http://papercutpatterns.com/products/rigel-bomber

Have a wonderful week!
