@[email protected] I finished the Devon jeans jacket from @freesewing! The pattern comes from @woutervw.

It's not without faults, you can see I've had to shorten the yoke significantly to fix the shoulder width, and I suspect measuring my height has also not gone completely well—it's a bit on the short side. But I still think it looks great.

@[email protected] More progress. Setting the sleeves was actually not that hard... But this was hard: realising the measuring had apparently gone wrong, and my shoulder-to-shoulder width was set to 50cm when it should've been 42cm 🥲

I had to shorten the yoke significantly. It's still a little bit too big, but we'll call that a relaxed fit.

All part of learning, but I am sad that this is now really not the "actual" pattern anymore.

More progress, I've now made one sleeve with a cuff! That was also a bit of a hassle. I've actually started a thread with feedback on the pattern on the Freesewing forums that's becoming a little bit meaty 🙈 https://forum.freesewing.eu/t/small-devon-issues/1080/9

I'm feeling a bit bad about that... A lot of it's probably just my inexperience.

The last step before adding buttons is the waistband, so it'll look less like a matador jacket soon.

@[email protected] Exciting news! My #DevonJeansJacket from @freesewing now has functional pocketses! And the side parts are attached to the back part!

I'm starting to be able to see what the final thing is going to look like. I think the wool works swimmingly.
