This jacket, besides being awesome, is very special to me. I was commissioned for this jacket earlier this year to be worn as SDCC. And, of course, was commissioned before Civil War had come out, so there was a lot of research to do be done on my end with some very fuzzy photographs.<\/p>\n

\nBut what makes this jacket so special is that this was the first pattern I drafted digitally using Adobe Illustrator. I managed to spend a good amount of time earlier this year teaching myself the fundamentals of flat-patterning, vs my usual \u201cwinging it,\u201d and it was really nice to be able to put that knowledge into action. I\u2019m sure at one point I\u2019ll go into my adventures of flat patterning. Also, I was amazed how much easier this garment went together. I think it\u2019s because I spent a lot more thinking about it\u2019s construction as I was designing\u00a0it and concentrating on the details.<\/p>\n

Of course I mocked up a quick muslin just to make sure it fit like I wanted.<\/p>\n
