pictures of my finished garments. i didn't really study the pattern for the jacket before i bought the fabric, but i decided that i wanted the facings to be something fun, so i got this great paisley print, thinking it would just peek out a little bit. it ends up that the facing pieces all wrap around the outside, so i have a lovely paisley band around the hood and down the front. not exactly what i had in mind but i think it looks great. you can't see details too well, but there is also a yoke with pin-tucks on the front and a set in piece in the back making a v-shaped belt. it's just a great pattern and i love corduroy. i think next time i would make the skirt a couple of sizes smaller. the pattern says "sits 1 in below waist" but i think they were a little generous on that.
