Finally. Done. Here it is.
I wore it yesterday to curriculum night at school and got one complement. Since I don’t usually get any complements, I would say that was good. It will not be something that I wear a lot. One of my friends said that the colors looked good on me, but the print was a bit flashy. I agree. What was I thinking?
The really big deal is that I finished my first lined jacket. Other firsts include inseam pockets, princess seams, and two piece sleeves. I learned much from this project. Next time I do this, I will use a better pattern. No more MacPhee Workshop patterns for me. My next jacket will be in nicer fabric in a solid. I need to work on fitting too.
Next projects. Some easy stuff. Pillow cases. Baby clothes for my nephew’s birthday gift. Then on to the pants.
