I used a Burda pdf pattern I saw on the blog by ‘Sunnygal studio’ (www.sunnygalstudio.com).  I used a vanilla loose weave fabric with viscose, from Fabworks.  Each piece was quilted to the lining before the side seams were machined then the hand sewing began.  It took a long time, but I enjoyed it.
And yes, I could cry, the zipper goes on the wrong side, but if I tried to unpick it, the fabric would unravel.  It’s supposed to have press studs, but I used shanked buttons and sewed them on tightly to sink the shank into the fabric and give that press stud look.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Classy jacket and very unique @Tiggy. No one else will notice the zip anomaly btw, just don't let them try it on😊.

I do like that @Tiggy and how you've done the braid.

Machine quilting is the way forward.  I’m not into masochism, lol
