A Coordinating Jacket - Finished


I finished the jacket at the end of last week, and was able to wear it yesterday to church.  I'm not sure if I'll wear it with this dress very often, but I do have another print dress that it will work with, so I'll try that out sometime to see how that looks, too. 


Here is a peek at the inside - finished a little differently than Tany finished hers.  I lined the fronts to the edges rather than having a facing. 


I like the jacket a lot and it was nice to make something a little more tailored with a little detail!

Parting Shot:  Taking a Break.  My son found this log to sit on while taking a break during our hike on Saturday.  Because of the way it was sticking out, he discovered quickly that it bounced up and down, which was fun until we needed to get back on the trail.

Very pretty jacket. The piping is a really nice touch.

Lucky you getting to hike. It has been raining so hard so long around here we are ready to build the Ark.

Love to see the two versions of the same jacket. I really like this style and the take you made with the details.

Looks lovely with the dress. I like matching outfits :) The piping and button are a nice touch too.

Nicely done! Looks great on you.

Beautiful work! Such a versatile jacket--would look good with black or navy as well. But I love the put together look here with the dress!

This jacket is wonderful. Thank you for sharing the button detail. IMHO, the jacket/dress combo is striking and classy. I would wear it a LOT. In fact, it reminds me a bit of one of my favorite outfits from Corporate America days. I'm looking forward to seeing the jacket with other skirts/dresses, too.

Dear Summerset, what a stunning, classy outfit! This colour looks great on you.

It looks wonderful, Summerset! Nothing less should be expected from you! I like it with the overlapping front and the button; it adds a certain vintage feel to the jacket! You look terrific wearing the whole ensemble!
