The Finished Jacket
One month after starting the jacket is finished, and I love it. Taking the time to make and remake the toile and then cut the pattern to fit ensured a well-fitting jacket. Having the lining quilted to the jacket, and the chain weight, make the jacket hang beautifully. It feels structured and yet it's very comfortable, almost like a cardigan. The silk lining is soft and light. The style can be worn dressed down or dressed up, so I'll get a lot of wear out of this jacket.
