Lovely Tailored Jackets

This semester I am currently in a Contemporary and Couture Tailoring class. We are working on a tailored jacket. We recently just finished a pair of tailored wool pants. I have never done a jacket before so this is such great experience for me. I figured out that a jacket pattern contains SO many pattern pieces. I only have about 10 pieces, but one of my friends has 19 pieces! CRAZY! I will be updating on here about how my jacket is coming along as we go! I chose a chocolate brown wool for my jacket to go with my brown plaid wool pants. I am excited to see how my jacket comes out and to learn all of the tailoring and couture techniques.
This is the pattern I chose for my jacket. It is Butterick 5647. It is a great pattern and it is very clear. Love it!
