Whew!

well after practically four sleepless days, I DID IT!!! I finished my jacket last night at 2 a.m. I couldn't believe how long it took me! I realized how much detail work I put in and counted 7 different fabrics that comprised my jacket. I really love it! It was so much hard work, especially since I was just making most of the stuff up as I went. It was really frustrating having to stay up late to work on it but totally worth it. So here's the really hard part. All of jackets from every Pattern class are being evaluated. ONLY 5 will be chosen to go on in competition in Texas where it will be walked down a runway and auctioned off to help raise funds for a cure for aids. I really want to go becuase it's such a great opporunity and feeling like an underdog this would give me a sign that this is truly my calling, however I'm not going to hold to my breath. The construction wasn't really the best and I kinda want to keep my jacket. I don't know. I'm just going to trust what in fate for me. so here are some pics!

here's what I started with



and here's what I finished with





YaY!
