Wearing KS 3764

I took the opportunity yesterday to pose for photos of me wearing the completed KS 3764 jacket.  I still have to get snaps for the bottom waistband.  I am wearing clothes for work so this is not a planned outfit just only to see how the jacket looks when wearing. 

I learned a lot from the making of this jacket and should I make it again I would do some things different with the front closing zipper.  It works as per the instructions but I think I would prefer the zipper to go the full length of the front lapel.  Enough said.

My next project is going to be a knit top, hopefully a quick and immediate gratification project.  More updates later.
