Sheriffmuir Jacket from scratch (a DIY project)

[Bugbear]

O, I understand now.

I'm still trying to figure out the fine details on the flaps.

Hope it all goes well.

I'll let you know how I make my flaps when I get to those and then you can judge from the pictures how it turned out.

I hope it does too.

I am making my second version today from a cheap fabric I picked up at an upholstry place. It is heavy and has a felted texture similar to a heavy coat wool, and it holds a nice crease when ironed, so I hope it will give me a good idea of how the wool suiting fabric will lay. This version will be taken to completion with sleeves, lining, collar and flaps.

I don't sew things worth a hoot but I do admire craftmanship in others, and salute you for undertaking such a project. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
