Amy's Sophisticated Yanaka Jacket

This fabric is ideally suited to garments that make the most of its luxurious sheen and fluidity:

Bias-cut skirts that skim and move beautifully
Evening blouses and camisoles with a touch of understated glamour
Wide-leg trousers for a modern take on formal dressing
Special occasion jackets and separates with a polished finish

Whether you're dressing for a wedding, party, cruise or festive celebration, After Dark brings instant sophistication to any pattern.

Amy has made the Yanaka Jacket by Leisl & Co.

"After Dark was beautiful to work with. For a satin, it felt surprisingly stable and easy to handle, which I think is down to the lovely heavier weight of the fabric. The Yanaka pattern was a joy to sew too, and its crisp, clean lines really show this fabric off beautifully. Although the pattern is unlined, the double satin has that gorgeous finish on both sides, so it felt like a perfect pairing for this fabric."
