It’s finally finished!
Part of my #makenine 2019 Challenge is this pattern, Islander Sewing Systems Jacket Express. I have made this pattern before here.

Sewaholic Yaletown – #sewtogetherforsummer Wrap Dress
I’m done! Just in time for the sunshine too! This was an easy pattern to make. I love it! I’ve made a Sewaholic Yaletown before here.
