Weekly patternmuster (sewing)

 Lately I have a hankering for a red leather biker jacket... Yes, I know. I do not have the space or the money for it, nor would I be able to use it enough to justify the cost. But I was thinking, what if I sew myself a red jacket, maybe from velvet or courdory, whould that staisfy the hankering? 

For the moment I am working hard to resist the urge to 1) buy the red leather jacket, 2) order all the red velvet online, but admittedly, I was searching for and looking for the best sewing pattern for a biker jacket. 

And while I was doing that, I came across this jacket, that I thought, would be a good candidate for this monday's pattern-column. 

It is the Shimla jacket

I absolutely love the standing collar and all the small ruffles.
If I would be someone, who goes off to work every day, I would certainly make this, but since I work from home... I am not sure if I would get around to it. 
Still I love it.
