Notes	This pattern is well drafted- I only had to take in the side seams slightly. I made bias tape from stretch mesh, and lined the body of the jacket. The buttonholes are Spanish snap type made by hand- it would have been very difficult to do machine ones on this thick polyester knit with a backing material. I also basted the collar and front facing to set the collar curve. It is very warm and comfortable. Shown with blouse 2303-the collar sits perfectly inside the jacket collar.
