Notes	95% organic cotton, 5% lycra, very soft and warm fabric. The jacket was way too long for me. The picture does not match the final length. So I shortened it by almost 15 cm. This jacket would probably have been as long as the tunic 4587 I made also this same fabric. Otherwise, I had to take in quite a lot, especially from the back. The hem would have flown somewhere in the back. :) I added long sleeves and pockets. Instead of buttons, I put snaps in 2 rows. I also quilted quite a lot of seams. After adding the fusing to both pieces one-piece belt according to the instructions, it became too heavy and would have hung. However, I didn't want to leave it unused, so I shaped them into sleeve cuffs. I wanted the model maybe a little closer to a shirt than a jacket. So this became a shirt jacket. I am going to make this jacket again.

The curved side parts in the picture would have been nice, but according to my measurements, they didn't come at all. Thank you Lisa1984.

I would never have thought that this was the model from the pictures, yours looks really good and I wouldn't really think of making it, just by the model pictures. Great job!

I have used the interfacing in the front band, neclaine facing, collar, sleeve cuffs. There is no support in the shoulders. Maybe I should have. :)

Beautiful collar. Have you used anything to structure the shoulder area? Interfacing or lining?
