Close enough for costuming...

After a three-muslin-still-not-fitting jacket marathon, it was a treat to slap this  jacket together and have something that comes this close to fitting (it really is slapped together.  I wasn't going for pretty):

There is really very little I need to do here.  The sleeve needs to be shortened about 3/4" below the elbow dart, and maybe slimmed down just a bit in the forearm to trim the wrist.

 I might add a pinch more ease at the waist.

But that's it.

Boom.

I will be cutting out the good stuff tomorrow.
