Finished the jacket I made.

You guys asked me to post a photo of the jacket I sewed. First time I made notched collars.

"It looks like velvet," people say. It has a soft shimmer.

No-wale corduroy, the fabric is a cotton-spandex blend. The stretch makes it comfortable. I did insanely time-consuming, Hong-Kong finishing on inside seams to stop fraying. Was ready to commit Hari-Kari with a seam ripper. Take that, corduroy!

The hair stylist curled my hair for a glamorous look. My thick hair is so heavy, the curls slumped while driving home. So much for glamor.

Breathable and comfortable, I will wear this jacket in fall, winter and spring. It fits perfectly. What do you think?

Great jacket. I really like it. You have done your best. This jacket really suits you. I can't sew, so I won't even try.
For our wedding, I wanted a tailored suit for my fiancé. I found a seamstress, and she set to work. A month later, we took the suit, and it was terrible. The size was wrong, and the seams were terrible. This all happened a week before the wedding. Then we had to quickly look for a new suit. As a result, we found a great suit at [gentlemansguru.com]. As a result, we were very happy that it happened because we found just a great suit.

Has taken a while, and sounds like a difficult job, but the finished jacket does look great and is unique to you

I eliminated the large patch pockets on the front of the jacket.

Instead I aimed for simple, elegant lines.

Well done. The finish on shop clothing is inferior to properly home-made clothing.

Very nice! I made a coat once. Funny how a garbage bag fits all.
