I’ve already shared about the pants I made for my dear sister-in-law’s wedding last weekend. But I spent most of my time sewing up this amazing wool Berkshire Blazer for my oldest, who was one of two ring bearers in the wedding. I’ve sewn the Berkshire Blazer (affiliate link) from Blank Slate Patterns once before, in sweatshirt fleece, so I knew that it was the perfect choice.
The wool came from a rummage sale in the neighborhood two years ago, and everything else was in my stash as well.
If you’re going to make a wool blazer, leather elbow patches are a must.
And when you’re sewing for a seven-year-old boy, you need to throw in a little surprise lining. Wedding appropriate on the outside, party on the inside.
There’s so much to love about this pattern. Pretty much the only thing I don’t like is that we’ve reached the highest size! I’ll have to size it up, because the design is exceptional and I’m in love with the final product.
And what boy doesn’t look adorable in a wool blazer? I’ll tell you.. none.
Case in point.
I’m not going to lie, this is one of my favorite things I’ve ever sewn. Bonus: he loves it too!
