I combined two commercial patterns with the measurements of a favorite DKNY jacket and came up with this. I spent two days cutting muslin, studying patterns, pin tracing the existing jacket, and making errors by trial. Then it took two more days to make the jacket.

This has come out beautifully - how lovely to see hard work rewarded - the edge stitching is a particularly nice touch and the proportions are very appealing.
I also laughed at your "traffic stopping" grecian inspired top. Great back drop!
No. way. This is amazing.
I LOVE IT! It is amazing on you. Can you hear my jealousy? ;-)
I LOVE your blog. This has been a new thought of mine - to make my wardrobe and improve my sewing. You are so inspiring. I appreciate your willingness even to share the mistakes (which I has a lot of btw )
Your jacket turned out amazing! Can't wait to see more.
Wow - this is as impressive as your first jeans were back a long time ago. Really impressive. How did none of this talent rub off on me in 4 years? - Moose
