almost almost done!

my orange jacket is almost complete! i've sewed shut the back pleat because the swingy shape that it created was way too wide for me. bottom hem has been sewed up! sleeves hems have been sewed up with a fairly straight double seam!! all that's left are the buttons in the front. i want to create those loop closures for these buttons instead of a typical button hole because i HATE making buttonholes (sewphie won't make them unfortunately) and i want to make this military-inspired but not straight military-styled. i may take in the sides a little to add a slight curve, as i currently look like a straight beanpole when i wear the jacket right now. i'm off to philtastic tonight to scope hoods and so i can sign paperwork at my new school tomorrow! abigail is coming for the ride and will be my 2nd pair of eyes in the apartment hunt. so, last night i baked cheesecake brownies in the new oven for our travels!
