the sleeves are cut, basted and put in the coat. The right sleeve needs a littel adjustment in its position. I am very happy with outcome of this sleeve draft, how the elbows rotate and the pattern matching of the checks. This little success carries me through all the frustrations during the making process. So I keep going and in the end I will overcome all insecurities and doubts about my skills..... I will be a tailor!!!
You've done an excellent job of choosing to use a checked fabric. I love the shoulders! You clearly have the skills and tenacity to be a skilled tailor.
Great job matching the cheques! Choosing that fabric sure doesnt make the construction easy!
