This is the first jacket I ever made…with lining and all….and bound button holes…which was a bit of a painful procedure. You can see my bound-button-hole results on the close-up pictures.
It was a lot of work but I like the way my first jacket turned out, now it just needs to get colder so I can wear it again.
"Mantelflausch" - don't know what it's called in English

I can’t believe this is your first jacket, it looks so complicated. It really is so well made and looks beautiful.
