Like you I found the squared left hand hem jarring and have therefore curved it to match the right hand side. To make view B with all those extra pieces I think is heading for a very unbalanced garment. Also I found no reference to the use of stabilisers in the instructions but have stabilised the entire jacket with a fusible interfacing to add substance and hopefully provide a more professional finish.

After seeing your version, I can understand making the edge of the LHS rounded instead of straight/squared. It is still a cute jacket and like how you wore it with the black pants.

I love the fact it was '80's fabric. I made a skirt yesterday that I think was from the 80's. Can't be sure but it has been in the stash for a long time :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-56099127485835112532015-04-06T23:03:42.897-04:002015-04-06T23:03:42.897-04:00Hmmmm, I understand the challenges of this jacket ...Hmmmm, I understand the challenges of this jacket but I would have rounded off that square edge. I also thought all those layers would be heavy but how would it work in a light fabric like silk organza?
