Well here's some progress pictures. I woke up this morning and got the liner fine tuned and basted. There's company coming over so I had to put up the needle and thread.

Here's the before picture



This is after basting the jacket and rolling up the liner for "effect"



Here is me this morning. Pardon my attire - I just woke up an hour ago. It looks a little rough in the front because part of the liner was hanging down below the basting stitches. Once it's sewn it will be smooth and clean.



Here's the back end. Again, pardon my attire.



I'm pretty proud of it. This is the biggest sewing project I've ever under-taken. I learned to sew by making my own blankets when I was a kid and probably haven't sewn in eight or nine years. It's turning out fabulously though if I do say so myself.
