The front
The back
The collar
The buttons
No, it's not finished yet. I'm having an issue with one sleeve so I want to take it out and put it back in. It needs buttons and buttonholes and the jacket needs to be hemmed. Otherwise its almost done, however, so am I for the night!
I'll put all the gory pattern alteration and construction details in the finishing post...and I'll probably finish it next weekend. Oh and one more thing...I will definitely make this again during the spring/summer in a linen...I just have to figure out how to line it!
...as always, more later!

That is a really cute jacket. I'm contemplating a style different from my last jacket, and this just might be the one.
Looks fabulous!
The jacket looks wonderful! I bought the same fabric and now I can't see using any other pattern with it except this one!
Since pictures are worth a thousand words. YOU TALK TOO MUCH!!!!! You have done beautiful work that is why I keep reading and learning Thank You for your passion.
Wow, that is really fabulous. I love it! Can't wait to see it finished.
It's coming along simply beautifully! What a gorgeous choice of fabric and buttons! Oh, for the lightweight one for spring.... maybe do French seams so you don't have to line it at all?
Its turned out really lovely. Great choice of fabtic and buttons.
Very nice jacket and pretty fabric.

Gorgeous combo of fabric, buttons, and pattern. This one is a real winner.
Wow, you got a lot done fast! Did you have President's Day off? The will be a great transition piece from winter to spring.
That was quick work! Very pretty. Love the fabric and the buttons, which I have.
Yep... it's a winner! The fabric is really lovely too! Nice detail.
I have to say when I read your first post about the jacket, I did not think I would like that jacket pattern. But seeing what you have done so far, it is looking gorgeous and I can find the attraction more to this pattern than I did at first glance. Lovely fabric!
When I saw the pattern you chose, I wondered what you saw in it. Wow! Now I get it! Mae
I love it Carolyn. I almost bought that fabric. I put it in my cart a dozen times and never got it. Seeing your beautiful jacket makes me wish I had.
Ooh, that is beautiful. The fabric, the pattern, the buttons. All very gorgeous!
It's beautiful! I love your fabric choice for this jacket.
Love the fabric! Love the buttons!
Oh my, that is so, so pretty. I can't wait for all the gory details.
Love. Love. And LOVE!
Gorgeous fabric! and I love the vintage buttons!
Love the jacket! Pattern didn't appeal to me when I first saw it, but I love what you've done.

Love that fabric!!! What a nice subtle print for a jacket.
Perfect fabric for a jacket. I love the buttons.
Super cool fabric in a super cool jacket. Love it!
I am really loving the jacket. Can't wait to see you wear the jacket.
Gorgeous. I'm new to your blog and I have to say I don't think you couldn't have better inspiration than Michelle Obama. As a large woman I'm trying to work up the nerve to start sewing for myself. Thank you for showing off your beautiful work.
Ah Carolyn, another winner! Love the fabric and the style.
Wow, just gorgeous. I have that fabric too and I loved it when I first got it and still love it! Your jacket is so beautiful.
I could actually help with lining it... And I bet people like Gertie could, too. Like with other stuff, there's a trick to it. Or, at least there is the way I do it! (I'm fairly sure that my construction methods aren't the 'approved' methods. I just know that they work and produce nicely finished clothing)
Beautiful! That fabric really comes alive on that jacket!
Gorgeous jacket and also wondered have you considered fabric buttons.
When I saw this fabric, I wasn't sure how it would sew up. I'm so sorry now I didn't purchase it. I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVE your jacket. It came out beautifully.
Wow! So pretty, and I love the buttons! Can't wait to see it finished and on you (no pressure, grin.)
Love it all.Style,fabric colour and buttons.Isn't it a great bfeeling when something turns out as you hoped?
You are such an inspiration!
I love this jacket, especially with the fabric chosen. Really beautiful.
Ok, this will be one chic jacket and I can totally see you wearing it!
Love the jacket, I have the same fabric (fabric.com sale?) and have a skirt about done, just a few seams to finish. Its such a luxurious yet stylist color palate, I think.
Oh, your version is gorgeous!. Can't wait to see it on.
Luv it!
