My biggest critique of myself here is that I did not carefully match the plaid. I remember not really caring at the time I cut it, which is very uncharacteristic of me. I remember having enough fabric to cut it, but not to match. All in all, not bad for a UFO completion project. Have a super day!

Completed Project - Boxy Jacket
New Look 6619 is done! I'm not sure why I relegated this to the UFO pile, but I'm glad it's out and done! I'm happy with the way it looks with the previously completed skirt, and it fits nicely. Here are some pictures:

Next Project: UFO #1, New Look 6619
So, the first of my UFOs to be rectified is New Look 5519, a cute boxy jacket. I believe I started this two years ago. I had a great menswear wool suiting fabric on hand and I decided to make a suit. I completed a nice pencil skirt, and chose this pattern to make a jacket from, and then cut it out and never began the sewing. Though I have made many successful jackets in the past I remain intimidated by them - buttonholes and buttons and linings - oh, my!
I have now gamely started the process of sewing and have put together the main body of the jacket, view C. Next up is adding the sleeves. I'll keep you posted!
