You win I'll pin!

[robinsnest]

Okay clearly I'm behind the ball and the only one STILL using hooks and eyes *facepalm* So I shall definitely be pinning my jacket shut! Which means the only thing I have left to do is sleeves and finish the neck opening...Yay almost done...Ewwww sleeves.

I'm fairly happy with how it's coming out..

I do think I need to take the slits up a little farther to the waist. It's not a huuuge deal but it's giving me a yucky wrinkle. A small alteration. I'm also considering binding them in a thinner fabric. Anyone ever seen a jacket with slits bound in a solid? And If I don't get to it the wrinkle is right where my apron strings will go...so no one will eeeever know, none of you will rat me out right? right? 



See my nasty wrinkle?



And now my favorite part! The back view!!! I have SUUUUCH a hard time with backs, so you should all be SUPER impressed with my awesome Husband who fit it all by himself with only random yelling coming out of me. 



I still need the lower the armsyces an inch or so but all in all I say it's going nicely!

So fingers crossed I should finish it up tonight. Granted that means setting sleeves so really that's anybody's guess.
