rei, i'm up for hire!

finally finished dad's fleece jacket!  just in time for chinese new year.  i had gotten up to this far last weekend... everything was done except the sleeves because i wanted to wait until he got here so that i could measure out the length on him.

dad wanted his sleeves to be cinched.

i stupidly forgot to serge shoulder stabilizers into the shoulder seams as i stitched them together, so i had to sew them in after the fact... not as pretty as the ones in dad's christmas sweater.  =(

the rest of the inside seams are pretty though!

the front pocket!  double stitching along the edges!

i used new look #0951, view c, to make this jacket.  it was shortened by 2 inches to accommodate dad's staggering height.

and i end with an adorbs pic of bunks, cleaning his face.  good boy.
