The Sienna Maker Jacket is a chic utility jacket inspired by vintage French workwear. Designed for hard-wearing use by makers and artists, it functions as both stylish outerwear and a highly practical layer for use inside the studio. With a slightly dropped shoulder, Sienna features a crisp notched collar that can be worn buttoned at the neck with an optional snap button. It is unlined and finished with durable seams. It features deep hip pockets, a hidden breast pocket and a waist-cinching belt with a D ring closure that can be worn closed, or open by looping the belt in the opposite direction. The version we will be making in this class hits at mid-thigh. This project can be made in sizes 0 through 32.
