So here it is competed - my first attempt at a tailored jacket. I can see a few faults (I always see the faults in whatever I make!) but its totally wearable, so I'm really pleased about that. The picture below gives you an idea of the hand sewing and inner structure that's gone into this project - there's A LOT of it which is why I'm so glad this practise project turned out good enough to wear.
The fabric is corduroy from my stash (yay!) and I had nothing but tiny scraps left by the time I'd cut it out - in fact I had to cut the peplum pieces from the lining instead of the main fabric, but this may have been a good thing as the fabric is quite thick. I love the colour, but its taking me a while to get used to wearing it - its bright!
Next project is the prince charlie jacket for J, fingers crossed I can improve my techniques so that even I don't see the mistakes!
