At 8:00 am yesterday morning the jacket looked like this ..
By 9:30 PM the jacket was completed to this below!
This is a leather and wool tweed jacket made with lambskin leathers from
Michael Levine Fabrics. The wool and tweed was purchased from A Fabric Place in Baltimore, zipper from GStreet Fabrics. I have to say the pattern was fairly easy, the only difficulty came when attaching the collar.
Alterations:
The leather sleeve was attached to the bodice then the lining inserted versus the instructions who have you inserting the lining into the sleeve then attaching the sleeve and over-locking.
