The Blue Corduroy Jacket, a work in progress

So last weekend J.J. and I went on a trip to Scrap in Portland. It's this awesome community reuse project. They have everything from fabric to old slides to carpet samples. I scored some awesome blue corduroy fabric there, along with some patterns and some paper that is like a giant sticker. You can peel the back off and stick it to stuff. I'm going to use that for stencils.

Anyway, back to the corduroy.
I'm in desperate need of a winter jacket, I've been FREEZING lately. I've noticed a bunch of cute double breasted jackets circulating around, so I decided to make me one.
I used a New Look blouse pattern (number 6732) and I altered it to create the bodice. It didn't work out very well. The darts gave me a mess of trouble, and they still aren't picture perfect, but eh. No one will notice but me. The collar and collar stand also came from that New Look pattern. I used the collar from look A, but rounded the edges to make it a peter pan collar. I like it.

Pictures of the work in progress!
My camera is awful. I know.:)
