Butterick Lisette Moto Jacket B6169 - a very happy project

I feel like I have been working on the moto jacket all month, but in reality I only cut it out last week.  Unlike my usual routine of buy for stash and work from stash, I fully planned this jacket:

1. Ordered the pattern from PatternReview.com Feb 19
2. Committed to the Sewalong  March 6
3. Stumbled on the fabric and received assistance with the zipper at Giroux Sewing Centre while travelling  March 14
4. Traced the Pattern March 18
5. Made Muslins March 20-22
6. Sewalong started March 23
7. Finished Jacket took pictures March 30-31
8. Blogged April 2

I am thrilled with the result,  and looking forward to wearing it.

Liesl had a few "extra credit" steps in her sewalong and I followed these, although my hem interfacing was too light to be effective, and I snipped the upper back underlining to release the fabric at one shoulder.  I found the issue too late to figure out what went wrong - I am not going to unbag the lining to investigate.

I think the nicest hidden feature was a crazy back facing process:

  the sewalong had a really intimidating image of gathering an pins (I dislike pinning my sewing)

But it turned out gorgeous!

Overall - I give this project a 10/10 for satisfaction.
