I finished this jacket in March 2009. It was intended as a proof of concept for my embroidered jacket project so that I could check the fit of my pattern. Sadly the wool is a little wrinkled in these pictures. I was just so excited to have finished it that I went a head and took pictures anyway.
The jacket is made of burgundy wool flanel an lined in pink silk. The wool layer was hand sewn to test a few sewing techniques I wanted to try out and the whole jacket is complettely hand finished. It is pinned closed in these pictures while I try to make up my mind as to whether I want to add ties or hooks and eyes. For more pictures of this project please see my gallery.
