Vogue 2991 Jacket

Good thing I only paid 89 cents for this pattern! Though it was an entertaining and amusing way to spend a hot August afternoon sewing a jacket in wool! The heat must be getting to me. I wanted a cropped jacket and for this to work. It had it all going for it - a 2 piece sleeve, princess seams, a cool collar. But -- the jacket length is waaay too short (1 1/2 inches finished above the waist?!) On me -Dorksville, next stop! The sleeves - surprisingly longer and wider than I thought would be. Vogue needs to get a new sketch artist! To quote Nina Garcia, "it's visually not pleasing!" I'll shove this back into the pattern drawer and try reworking it again later, maybe. Onward, there are other patterns awaiting!
