V8539 completed!!!

I started this last Monday, sewing for 20 - 30 min per night. It was finished on Saturday. I got the rest of the notions on Wednesday. It seemed like the notions were adding up. I had a pack of buttons that were almost 4.00 for the card of two. I put those back and glad I did. I checked in my stash of buttons and found one that did the trick. The longest part was sewing on the snaps...

Here I am with it on in my back yard. LOL... I have on flip-flops. I wanted to catch my DH before he changed his mind.


Here are more pics of the goings on....here are those puckers I was talking about.



 A button from my stash...
 The snaps...they were the chore...
For the pocket lining I just used some peach or mole skin that I saw around....

I am happy with the overall turnout. I am seeing these lines off to the side. I guess I could have used those french darts, but oh well.... now that I am looking it over, I could have serged the raw edges of the seams or did a hong kong finish...maybe next time...

Happy sewing!!!!
