This lace bomber styled jacket was made with McCalls 7100.
I cut the lace out to the XXL size. This unlined bomber jacket is already a very simple make. So simple, that now that I'm thinking about it, I have absolutely no idea why I only have one. Anyhow, using a lace that I found from Fine Fabrics in Norcross, GA, I started on my vision.
The pattern as-is, for the largest size, calls for a 22" separating zipper. Of course if you need a longer or shorter jacket, you can purchase the appropriate length zipper, and lengthen or shorten the pattern. The cuff and bottom bands call for a ribbed knit, however I chose a scuba knit fabric for its smooth soft feel and appearance. I felt that it paired better with the lace. I made no adjustments to the pattern to accommodate the lace. And the lace did not make the project difficult at all. With that said, I foresee a black one in my future.
The skirt was made with a breathtaking striped scuba knit fabric from Minerva. Head over to my Minerva blog post to read more about how I created this skirt.
