It's done.   Other well-done by any means but wearable.

Based on vogue 8075 and using linton tweed on ivory with silver thread - not the yellow phone wants to picture it in

 I have no idea what possessed me to think this was a good idea or why I thought I wanted an ivory jacket.   I have no idea when I am going to wear it and I certainly won't be wearing it often as it's going to pick up every piece of dirt and I  not convinced that I have done enough to stop it fraying inside.

Bit it's Done.

Very nice!  Cream goes with many colours, so I'm sure it will have many outings!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

I have a shirt dress made from a coat pattern that is moving into it's third year.  It only needs buttonholes and buttons, but it's now far too cold to wear it and I fell out of love with it during the making.

At least you have the satisfaction that it is no longer a UFO.

Plus at least you have something in your wardrobe suitable for a smart occasion.

Looks like a lovely jacket and aahh the satisfaction of de-ufo-fying something!

I take my hat off to anyone who takes the time and trouble to make a Chanel type jacket.  Lovely to wear, delightful to hold but life is far too short for me I want quick fixes.

Enjoy wearing it, you deserve it and it looks lovely.
