Susan Khalje Couture Sewing project- still sewing!

Here is a sneak preview of my as-yet unfinished Couture Workshop class project.

I chose to make a lace jacket (Butterick5992, View A) for my project, and although it could be quite dressy, based on my lifestyle I will probably wear it with skinny jeans and boots in the fall. I think it will be really lovely, and I can’t wait to finish it!

Pins pins pins!

Once I finish attaching the selvage trim to each side of the back opening, I will add a satin bow and a hidden closure.  I am thinking of making the bow removable to keep the jacket more versatile, plus that will allow me to add pretty buttons and rouleau loops (which I love!).
