Hi, guys!!!!! I’m sorry to bring you sad news, but Rigel Bomber January is over! It’s OK to cry… just let out all the bad feelings. The good news is that I think a roundup of some of the amazing bomber jackets you guys sewed will lift your spirits! What say you? Stay tuned until the end… I’ll reveal my favorite bomber, the winner of a Papercut Pattern of her choice!
OK, so I’m only featuring 1/3 of the finished jackets here… to see the rest, check out Kat‘s post and Mel’s post! Also, there are lots more cool bombers on Instagram… just search for the tag #rigelbomberjanuary and you’ll see them (I just couldn’t find a way to pull photos from IG that wasn’t super time-intensive… sorry!)!
First up, here’s Sally‘s adorable polka dot bomber:
Here’s Carlalissa’s (with a bonus doggie photobomb)!
Check out Amiria’s!
Rose Cherry made a super cute bomber inspired by Shanni’s:
Becky Jo made a beautiful version:
Here’s Eirenep’s lovely floral version:
Now, I want to show you Kat‘s version! She’s managed to fit snails, pea pods, AND leopard print in hers!
Now, here’s my favorite jacket… but guys, I had a really, REALLY hard time choosing just one! I loved seeing all your bombers and really could have picked every single one of them. But, I finally had to just choose one, so, it’s…
Oh, She Dabbles! I really like the mix of fabrics she chose!
Super cool! Girl, I’ll be in touch to hook you up with your free pattern!
Alright, that about wraps it up! Thanks so much for playing along! January was much more fun and bright this year! Now, tell me, which is your favorite jacket? And what’s on your sewing machine right now? Oh, and don’t forget to check out Kat and Mel‘s blogs to see the rest of the bombers!
Oh no some of the photos are missing!
And, this just makes me annoyed at myself for not joining in like I had planned. I really should make my pattern changes and make another one before the colder weather hits…

Should be corrected now, I hope! Your first bomber turned out so cute- I hope you make another someday!

My favorite is my black with pink polka dots, only because I get to wear it so often! Congratulations to Oh She Dabbles. Her jacket is awesome!! All of the jackets are impressive. I will have a hard time picking one to copy for my next Bomber. There will be another one in my future. Thank you, Ginger, for brightening my January with happy sewing.
