Loes Hinse Shawl Collar jacket

I received the pattern from Londa last week along with her 2 Cents for that pattern.
I have a few of the pattern tweaks/fitting alterations done and have it cut out. I won't be able to sew straight through on it so I will post as I go along.
By the way "Londa's 2 Cents "is most helpful on this pattern because there are a few missteps in the pattern instructions and she fills in the 'blanks' or offers options. I will recap them when I am finished. I believe I am going to like jacket, however.
Later, Joan

Well it is one day later and the Jacket is basically finished. I just need to sew in the shoulder pads. I will try to snag my husband to take a picture of me with it on and then write a little paragraph of my experience constructing it.
I don't have a clue how to post it on here, though. I will explore the site and see if I can figure it out.
Later and keep sewing,
Joan
