TA-DA!

I finished my Moto jacket last night, after a 4 day sewing marathon...sometimes it helps to be compulsive!

After my disappointment last week with the original HP Moto pattern, I used my new TNT jacket pattern, Kwik Sew 2896, to make my own take on the jacket. I cut the short version, eliminated the in-seam pockets and added zippers on the sleeves,

                                                                            zippered welt pockets,  and down the front of the jacket.

I did not make the tabbed collar,

because I forgot to add the tab when I was cutting it out! Inserting the zippers was a challenge at first, because the ordinary way of doing a zipper hid my wonderful striped zippers...after redoing the sleeve zippers, I figured out how to do a "slot" zipper, and was able to showcase the zippers on the welt pockets

I lined it with a glorious polka dot poly charmeuse

which was hell to sew...by the time I sewed it, it had more whiskers than my Maine Coon Cat, MicMac,

and sheds strange puffy silvery polys all over everything. Oh, well, the look is everything... 

Now, where's my motorcycle?
