Ah yes, I see. I'm wearing it as a blouse rather than a jacket.

Today has turned out to be a "finishing off" day - this jacket is now complete - and another success!  I'd been saying all along that I'd not be making another of these, but now, well maybe...
Excuse the back view being rucked up a bit at one side, just showing how I put new, longer, lower back pieces on, and cut them level too.  Much better for a jacket I think, although I do like asymmetric stuff.

You've been a busy Bodgey. This is splendid!! I agee -  think the longer length is good as a jacket and it's a great colour. More so than with other designers I do use the Tilton sisters patterns over and over again (ok Mizono comes a close second for reusing). There's a trouser pattern I've used about 8 times and a top 4 times - both out of print. You've inspired me to dig out a couple of UFOs from the Tiltons to finish off!

I've just worn my version for the first time this autumn. I hadn't noticed before but it is definitely short at the back! It doesn't even cover the bum. If I make it again I will lengthen it as you have done, Bodgey.
