A fun fact - all Challenging Sew Patterns are inspired by a different Mardis Gras Krewe  (the social clubs who organize the world famous celebration in my home town of New Orleans).

The Joan Jacket is named after the 'The Joan Of Arcs' who kick off the season each January 6th, and the Amelia is named for the 'Amelia Earhawts' and their slogan 'Can you handle the turbulence'!

This download includes twelve total PDFs: three with Seam Allowance and three without for each of the two patterns, this combination of seam allowances makes Challenging Sew patterns unique in the industry and a huge time and labor saver for you. For more information on this important idea, please see my videos on TikTok

The Joan French Jacket is a fitted, classic French Jacket with an optional stand collar, princess seams, straight side seams and a three piece sleeve, and the Amelia is a slightly more relaxed version. 

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did - you can see my own journey with them on my blog.
