Josephine Sews

I first saw this pattern on Instagram for the "Sew Your Own View" challenge and had planned to participate in the challenge but never got around to it.  Finally in February of this year I made time to sew it. The Hickory Ensemble How I Did It This is a free pattern from Mood Sewciety and you can get it here .  I was drawn to this pattern for the comfort/easy factor and it did not disappoint. The top is styled with StyleArc's Brooklyn Knit Pant and it has been previously reviewed here .  I will show construction pictures for the pant also.

Here are the pictures of the 4 jackets.
