BWOF 5/06 Jacket- Finished!



Yay! I'm finally finished. I have a full review here
Oh, the reason I'm smiling so big in these pictures is because my 84 year old dad was taking the pix. His first foray with a digital camera. Yes, I was cracking up!

Nancy - this jacket is lovely! And oh those sleeve caps. They could not be more perfect. I really love the color on you. And, nice tutorial on pressing tools. I totally agree that makes a huge difference in the final appearance of a garment, even if it is not wool!

Thanks so much for all of your support! I agree with Elaray in that projects like this do really make me appreciate BWOF. I have another Jacket on the line up soon, but a few other things I need to finish first.

What a beautifully tailored jacket! It looks gorgeous on you. Those details in Burda WOF are worth struggling through the instructions.
