I love the clasp detail, and I appreciate your tutorial on attaching the clasp to the jacket. I agree with you on the pockets, they look a bit high on the jacket. But it's reassuring to know that even you, my sewing idol, has to rework occasionally to achieve perfection.katboulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025257250866095235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-91277717878625398132014-12-01T12:09:17.495-05:002014-12-01T12:09:17.495-05:00What a attractive (and comfy) sweater.

I personally do not like the pockets you had just because they took away from the sleekness of the original design. Maybe you could add pockets to the side seams inside? Just a thought...
