I really love the Imagine jacket. (also the McCartney jacket for women) and Penny was in need of another one, since these limbs of hers keep growing. I had been wanting to make a faux leather one ever since I saw the vegan leather at Girl Charlee I LOVE the result.
A sweet leather look jacket but since it’s faux leather it’s perfect for kids.
I used floral fabric for the accents and lining so it had a nice feminine touch to it.
Penny is in full pocket mode. Probably my favorite thing is when kids discover pockets, and that they can store things in them.
I used my teflon sewing foot for sewing the jacket and it was amazing! There are few sewing feet I just can’t live without and the teflon foot is one of them.
I just love the moto jacket like feel that the faux leather gives it and it’s stretchy and soft and has great drape so it worked really well.

I love the combination of the brown of the leather and the teal/green of the flower fabric.

Wow! I´ve had my eyes on that pattern for a while for my girls, but faux leather! So chic´and practical at the same time.
Neoprene has come to Sweden this spring, but I can´t imagine it in a jacket before I have touched it myself.

What a doll! I really need to sew up this pattern.
