All the cold weather makes for cozy, curl up and sew time. The hand sewing to finish the jacket is a great winter time project.
I really appreciate the helpful staff at Haberman Fabrics for the button selection assistance.
The jacket feels great on and I was looking forward to wearing it with a couple of dresses that pull out the different colors, but they might be a little lightweight for the current temperatures.
Checking my stash I found a piece of camel wool and my first dress of 2014 is in process. I’ve joined the Ready to Wear Fast with Goodbye Valentino. I’m also looking for a new camera, as the goal of improving my photos is high on my list.

What a good feeling it is to finish one of these garments. Congratulations! Yours is lovely 🙂
Thank you, the sew-a-long was fun to do and kept me motivated. Thanks for posting the information.
Classy! Very nice jacket! Wish you could model it for us 🙂 I could not agree with you more that hand sewing is the best activity for cold and dark winter nights
Thanks. My goal for this coming weekend is to find a new camera. Maybe I can get the dress finished and do some better photos.
Gorgeous jacket and yes winter time is the best time for all the hand sewing!
