For the first time, I'm pin fitting the fabric. There are a lot of minor adjustments needed. It's a lot easier to move pins than use the seam ripper. Here's the front. I thought I had the front pinned straight until I saw the photo. Oh, the magic of pictures!
The back needs more work. I'd say those seams are not quite straight. (LOL)
The side seams are not straight either. I guess I was just having a crooked day!
First, I went to the dress form. I'm not flexible enough to work on the back while wearing the garment. I do believe that I see some winkles.
A few minutes work and it looks better to me.
Next, I finished the sleeves next. I think that they hang better and are super cute.
It's a rainy, dreary day in Central Florida. Roxy doesn't think much of peeing in the rain and is exhausted. She's busy taking a well-deserved nap (in her viewpoint).
My answer to such a dreary day in "sunny" Florida is to check out the new patterns. There's a BMV sale today and tomorrow. Then, I'll work on the other jacket front. :)

It's rainy day jacket sewing too here in my part of central Florida, and all my pups are napping like yours. They know when it's rainy, they won't be going out except for necessity so they don't even ask. Your jacket is coming along nicely.
I don't know what pattern you're using, but I just bought a Simplicity that looks amazingly like your jacket! Love it.
This one looks like it's coming along wonderfully.
