I know we say it all the time, but it’s always true – we are SO grateful for our incredible testers who take time out of their busy schedules to give us feedback on our patterns before they are released. We are so excited to finally be able to share with you some of the gorgeous makes our Hovea Curve testers made! As often happens with testing we made some changes to the pattern based on feedback from our testers to get the best fit possible, and in this case, the sleeves were shortened and shoulders were narrowed post-testing. Thank you so much to our amazing testers, we’re sending you hugs across the internet! Without further ado, lets have a look at some gorgeous jackets and coats!
This is the final post of our Hovea jacket construction! If you’ve decided to skip the ties, and add a belt and beltloops instead – that is what we will be finishing up today. This works best with the longer view C, or even the mid-length view A. It really wouldn’t work with the cropped version, though, FYI. And also – it doesn’t have to just be for the collar band versions. You could also do this with the quilted longer view D as well! So many options.
Phew, almost there! If you’ve added ties to your view A, C, or E of Hovea jacket (or if you’re choosing no ties or belt), then this is your final post! If you’re adding a belt and belt loops, that final post will be tomorrow.
If you are making a lined A, C, or E version of the Hovea jacket – today is a big day for you! We are finally going construct the body of the jacket and add that lining! I’ll show you how to bag the lining for a clean and professional finish. It’s really not as hard as you might think, and its pretty satisfying when it’s done!
