12 Jackets in 2011?

I have decided to participate in Jacket A Month challenge!  I am not guaranteeing one a month- I am busy with these kids and other projects as well.  This challenge should help me get at least a few jackets for my wardrobe, which I desperately need.  It actually allows for cardigans, jackets, coats, or any other outerware/top layer item.  I have five patterns selected so far.

Butterick 4610

Simplicity 4698




Some of these jackets are lined, some are not.  I made a jacket from Simplicity 4954 for my sister years back.  I think I made two jackets when I was in high school, neither were lined.  Other than that, I have not really done much with outerwear.  I hope to improve my fitting skills over the next year with this challenge.  Stay tuned throughout 2011 for my progress.  I plan to post about fitting and construction as I go along!
