Here is the jacket:
It is an extra large. I chose a pattern by McCalls for a fitted dress that has a bit of a business look to it and went to work. The way the jacket was made, really forced me to be creative when laying out my pattern. You bet I used just about every scrap of fabric on that sucker. I used as many original features of the jacket as I could. The pockets, sleeve buttons, the front opening and even the original hem on the bottom. I also used a regular white button up blouse I hadn't worn in years to make the top.
Here is what was left of the jacket when I was done
And here is the final product!!!
