McCalls 5759 progress

I haven't stopped work on McCalls 5759.  Just procrastinated a bit because I decided to put actual welt pockets under the pocket flaps provided in the pattern.  I finished up both the welts and the flaps today, so next comes the sleeves and then the shell will be finished.  Of course, I plan to add buttons to the sleeve cuffs, so that would go super fast either.


The inside of the pockets.  Looks pretty messy, but it works.

Tweed Jacket has begun

I got home late Wednesday night from an exciting trip to see my brother-in-law's wedding.  Picks of the lace dress and Marfy gown in action are on their way...
In the mean time, my most recent project is a jacket using McCalls 5759, the red version in the pic below.


The fabric is a lightweight tweed from Sawyer Brook, recently sold out.
