A New Jacket!
I had to 'retire' 2 of my light cotton jackets last year because they were too far worn for repair. So I pulled out one of my Connie patterns(B6533), and made me a new light cotton jacket.

Added later: Turns out, I HATED the cuffs and hood on this jacket, so I cut them off and put ribbing in place. The jacket is much more comfortable, and the collar could be tweaked a little more (I had no directions, just winged it), but maybe for the next jacket.
And there *will* be a next jacket.
