Recreate a classic Coco Chanel design with this chic short jacket. The construction is relatively straightforward, thanks to the absence of a collar and darts. Bouclé is a great fabric for a first attempt at a jacket as the textured surface is forgiving to little mistakes, but it is bulkier than other fabrics so remember to lift your presser foot regularly to prevent bunching and clip those corners. The simple patch pockets complete the look. The jacket is fully lined and finished off with a braid trim.
