NEW YEAR PROJECTS

I've just started this camel jacket for a friend, it is a commercial pattern, but I've adapted it to make it a little longer.  She did not like the patch pockets of the pattern and I was inclined to agree.  I experimented and have incorporated the pockets into the side bodice panel and it has worked well. We are both pleased with the results and the look.

Once the jacket is completed I will put some more photos here and include some of the details in close up. It was quite a straight forward garment to construct apart from the sleeves, which not only add extra class to the jacket but gave me a bit of a challenge with their construction which was fun.
