Luck be a lady


It’s finished!  The seam ripper was my best friend in this project, but creating the muslin mockup ahead of time really helped me in this process.  
I was a little worried about the ‘Advanced’ level of the pattern, but I followed along Gertie’s posts and was very thorough in going through the directions.  It was a great sew along, but I might try for a slightly easier one next time.

Another success from this process? My first official button hole! I scrounged up the instruction manual to my sewing machine and practiced the 4-step button process.  It worked great and I'm no longer going to have to use zippers to close all of my garments.

Here are some pictures from along the way...

Now onto the actual fabric...

Attaching pockets...

Fitting the back...

Attached the sleeves...

With the tie... I think I like it better without.
