Here's the muslin of S2701 on my daughter. Good fit. This jacket meets at CF with a loop closure. Pleat at CB.
There aren't a lot of fitting issues with this jacket. It's fairly straight and has about 5" ease in the bust, 3" at the hip. I fit her shoulders and decided the ease I wanted in the body and made it to those specs. The pattern calls for either short sleeves or 3/4 length. I'm lengthening the sleeves to her wrist. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward.
I should get the fabric that's ordered from Hancock this week. If the fabric turns out to be the what I'm hoping, I can get going on this. Have to check my lining stash see what I have. This jacket is supposed to be unlined, but I will put one in this jacket.
I also did a couple of mending jobs--bore!
Happy Sunday!

Isn't it great to get a good fit the first try! Looking forward to seeing the final garment. Hope the fabric is what you hoped for when it arrives!
Great fit. Lucky daughter!
That's going to be another wonderful jacket!
I'm looking forward to seeing this sewn up in the real stuff. The muslin looks wonderful.
Looking good!
It is shaping up to be a wonderful jacket. Cannot wait to see the end result with the material.
