Jacket done!

The Million Dollar Jacket is finished!

It was all sewn together, almost done, when I first tried it on. Oh! Why didn't I baste it together??? It was HUGE! I tore it apart, took FIVE INCHES out of the body and narrowed the shoulders by TWO INCHES!

I checked the pattern before I began but

• I was by myself (should have waited until Ray was around to ask questions about what I couldn't see), 
• I wasn't sure what over-sized really meant when dealing with quilted pieces, and 
• the measurements on the pattern corresponded to me. 

I was very disappointed in the pattern so I'll probably never buy another The Quilted Closet pattern but I do like my jacket now that it is done!

I don't look happy cause no one said "smile"!
