It is a jacket

I have two more things to do to complete the KS jacket; but it is jacket nonetheless.  This is the  jacket on Alma Marie.  I used my iPhone to take this and the color is really washed out.

I need to topstitch around the front, collar and bottom of the jacket.  I also need to stitch a buttonhole and either make a button from the fabric or find a button.  Also need an inside snap.








Here is a view of the back.
Again a washed out look.  I don't like the wrinkles that appear in the back and more noticeable in photos than in real life.  I will post some shots later of me wearing this after topstiching and adding the button.

  4. I do like this jacket and I think I have the pattern somewhere. I didn't realize there was so much seaming in the back, but it looks really nice.

    1. Thanks, Audrey. What drew me to this pattern was the seaming in the back.
