Many years ago, I spotted a lady wearing a jacket like this when I was out shopping. It was a warm day and she was wearing it with skinny jeans, the sleeves pushed up and sunglasses on her head. She looked lovely. It’s funny what you remember isn’t it? So several years later, I have finally made one for myself. I have used a heavyweight double jersey from Minerva Crafts and this was very kindly gifted to me as part of the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network.
The pattern is Butterick B5926, and I already had this in my stash – it was the free pattern from an edition of Love Sewing magazine a few months back.
My full review (all opinions are my own) can be found over at Minerva Crafts, so I’ll see you over there if you would like to find out more about this lovely little unlined blazer. We just need the temperature to rise by a few degrees now so that I can start getting some wear out of it!
Take care, and I’ll see you soon,

Beautifully made and great choice of pattern and fabric.
Thank you very much x
It’s lovely. Can you recall what the fabric used was? Ali
Hi Ali, I’ve taken a look back at the Minerva post that I wrote on this jacket, and the fabric that I used is not linked anymore, so it has sold out. I described it in the post as a ‘heavyweight double jersey knit fabric’ as I guess that this is what it was described as on their website at that time.
It would be really nice in a striped ponte roma I think. Hope this helps, K x
