I hope your fingers heal fast! I’ve had projects like that.
I like the alterations you have made, very creative.

Fantastic garment! Plaid is so in right now and you gave it such a classy look.

Great job. I love the fabric. Can go funky with jeans or sophisticated with slacks or slim skirt.
… Losing the collar and shortening the sleevbes to 3/4 gave the pattern a whole new flavor. Nice work!
