Notes Finally I'm satisfied with the result, but it was an unexpected long way to go. It started with too big arm wholes and too wide sleeves. Than I was disappointed with the braids I'd chosen. The fringes I made from bias cut fabric instead looked much better, but the suggested position on the front parts didn't please me. The turning point of the project came when I chose a simple one piece front part with two lines of fringes on the top half. Now I feel I can wear my Chanel-style jacket.

Fabric: Woven cotton/linen mix
Lining: Silk
Front Zipper

    Oh Polly you not only have talent and taste but a lot of patience. I know how hard is to try it so many times to have something looking like you imagined at the beginning. I like it very much. I hope you finish it soon

    Dear Anne-Marie and hi Sya,
    thanks for your feedback! Motivation to get the project finished - just some more handstitching on fringes and seams and a lining to sew.

    You're right,it does look much better with the lower fringe lifted.

    Hi Nicole, I'm experimenting with the sleeves of a Vogue and a Burda pattern. Let's see how it works...
