well, it's finally finished. i started making this jacket, thinking it would be lovely for spring. the pattern was labelled "easy," in a laid-back kind of font (see bottom left), so i assumed i'd have it finished in an afternoon. not so. cutting out the pattern and sewing the straight seams was "easy." the collar was a bit tricky. and then i got stuck when it came to making buttonholes.
the next spring, i got a new sewing machine that made buttonholes, but i never got around to trying it. somehow i end up busy and never finish projects i start. i blame television.
then last week, it took me exactly 15 minutes to make four of them. so so so easy. the machine does all the work, even figures out how wide they should be. now i want to make buttonholes in everything. anyone need something buttoned?

Straight seams are my (only) specialty! Nice work—spiffy jacket. Hope to see it in the office as soon as nice weather arrives.
