Rag Fur Jacket

I finished another project on my list. I was going to wait until fall to make it, but had it started and decided to "just do it". Would you believe it has been on my "to do" list for at least 4 years.... probably more. lol So, while cutting this fabric I checked, checked and checked again before cutting into it. If I made a mistake, I wouldn't be able to find this fabric again. I had bought it way back when also. This pattern is by Ami Simms and you can find the pattern on her sight when you click on her name I have highlighted;-) And see lots of other Rag Fur Jackets. Now, what did I learn from doing this project? I would have loved having Ami right beside me so she could have guided me through some of the directions I had trouble comprehending. Not that the pattern was difficult. She has lots of pictures....it just takes ME time to figure out even easy things. The next thing I learned, was that if you use a fine point marker, have something under your fabric that you are marking. I won't go into what happened. lol What I hated was putting the cuffs on. There has got to be an easier way. I love it now that it is done. And I love the way it feels to complete yet another project on my list. I got my granddaughter, Raven, to model my jacket. Her hair even goes with the jacket, but the jacket is MINE!

Have a Great One!

Wow, impressive and so much work! Love the color combination too.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and yes, it took me a while, but I did make all of those bows!
Take care.
Aloha!
