This week you'll see two ways to sew something suited for style, and for chasing chills in the air. Designer Laura Pifer rescues a men's shirt and turns it into a jacket. Fashion expert Angela Wolf continues with her tutorial for the shirtdress by adding the cuffs. Then, she creates a drapey jacket from a giant square of fabric.
Would you ever think of turning a men's shirt into a ladies bomber jacket? In this show Laura does just that! She is wearing one of her own shirt turned bomber jacket creations on the show. It looks like something that came right off the rack in ready-to-wear.
Ribbing can be a bit tricky to find. I found some recently at Rockywoods.com. I even found a nice bomber jacket pattern on the same site.
For a slightly different and dressier bomber style jacket style you may want to try the Wong Sing Jones pattern form HotPatterns.com. I have it in my stash, along with the ribbing but can't seem to desire on fabric for the jacket - stay tuned - I'm sure I'll get inspired before fall comes around again.

In the last full segment of the show Angela drapes a jacket on a dress form and gives you a few other ideas for making this style without a pattern.
If you'd like something more fitted with a similar style you may want to check out Angela's Rachel Twin Set pattern. It has a similar drapey collar and includes a tank top.
