I added a modesty panel on the left front, and attached frog closures. I can see I need to add a snap below the last frog to keep that area closed.
I had a good time making this jacket. It's the kind of creative sewing that I love to do.
Have a great weekend, sewing, and otherwise!

That is too cute! Love the applique and those perfectly rounded corners.
Gwen, I love your jacket. I would feel very lucky and very smug if I could be standing in a line and have people wonder where or how my jacket came to be. Thank you for being a wonderful inspiration. I also want to thank you for your shoulder pad tutorial. I missed that when you posted it, but I want to be able to do that also.
Very pretty! What a "designer" touch
Totally fabulous - the whole look rocks!
That jacket really is an amazing piece of work. It looks so beautiful, your applique is wonderful. I love it!
Gorgeous jacket!
It's fabulous!! You look amazing!
It came out nice. Fun to do stuff like that. Makes it all rewarding when wearing. Frogs look great. I haven't used them in anything in years.
Can't wait to see what you do next. Enjoy your sewing moments!
Gwen, your applique work is stunning! You have a work of art.
Beautiful! What a gorgeous jacket!
Stunning-I love the frog closures.
So much work. I applaud you!
What a beautiful jacket, you did an awesome job!
Amazing, Fantastic, Gorgeous, Beautiful, Etc..... I cannot really come up with an adjective that describes how I feel about this jacket. I can't wait to do another felted project. I have a bunch of sweaters and a blazer that are felted and ready to be made into something. Gotta get Easter done first.
I love your finished jacket! The applique work is so beautiful --- I wish I had the skill and talent to make something like this. Bravo!

This is a very pretty and elegant jacket, the choice of motif and colours for the appliques is wonderful! I'm sure I'm repeating myself but I really love your sense of style^^.
Isn't it just wonderful, having a great time making something and then ending up with something so beautiful and unique? The more I look at it, the more I love it. This could be something out of a designerstore, easily!!
Gorgeous!!!I love it!!!

That is a great jacket and you have received so many compliments via your blog. I can only imagine how many you will get while wearing it out and about. Thanks for posting the link on my blog. Happy Sewing.
That is a really beautiful jacket. So unique and great workmanship.
It turned out lovely. Where did you purchase the wool? Thanks for the shoulder pad tutorial.
Gwen, I wanted to add my compliments to the many well deserved ones you have already received. The embellishment is so well done; the layout compliments the style of the jacket, the colors are eye catching without being garish, and hand sewing is beautiful. I just love this jacket! I also chuckle every time I see the Big Girl Panty sign in the background of your photos.
