Latest Jacket Conversion

[Mickey]

Thanks very much guys! Definitely my best one so far. Just doing jackets is becoming an addiction.

I learned to turn the lining through a book at the public library--great resource public libraries.

Very true. I go to mine at least once a week and in fact, just returned from there. Keep meaning to pick up a few sewing books. That reminds me, I need to order Barb's book today!

I dig the buttons too. Are they original to this jacket? If not, where did you find them?

The buttons are not original. I came across them at JoAnnes and just had to have them. You can also pick them up here http://www.buttons.com/KeywordSearch...43&Submit.y=10

I actually tried to make a scalloped pocket, but I wasn't having much luck getting it to come out even, at least doing them by hand. But I really like how the drop point came out and may start doing them on my next ones.

(If you find the same jacket in a 43R, feel free to whip me up one...)

If I get lucky enough to find one, I'll do that!
