Picture of me in the jacket. Not a very clear picture, but you get the idea.
view of the back.
I wanted to make hand worked button holes. I even practiced for two weeks. Lets just say I still need to practice. I opted for bound buttonholes.
Since I made the sleeves a little short, I just added a cuff.
There was only on thing that I wanted to make sure I finished this winter and and this is it.
I bought this cream wool at Joann's last year at an end of season clearance sale. I knew this was the pattern I wanted to use. I love Sandra Betzina jacket patterns. They are cut higher in the armhole which makes them so comfy. She also does not put a ton of ease in the sleeve cap. I did lengthen the sleeves, but they still came out a little short. No worries, I just added a cuff. I have very, very long arms and I like my jacket to be a little on the long side.
Oooo, it's really lovely! So pristine and precise, just perfect in the winter white wool fabric you chose.
