This was challenging to make but mostly because I am more of an novice. I am totally pleased with it and intend to make at least one more.
It is especially yummy with a slightly full skirt

I took my time and made this jacket over 3 days. The result is great and I love the fit.Now I know that the patterns suggest making a test muslin but honestly who has time for that, however next time I make the jacket I will make it slighty longer. I will definitely be using this pattern again and it is set to become one of my fav's
