I made a few simple changes to the pattern. I did shorten it to my liking. We all have our preference for lengths. The yoke is pin tucked. Here is where there's opportunity for a lot of embellishment ideas. Gig's has Heirloom techniques. Beautiful!
The pattern has a hidden placket front for buttons. On the neckband, instead of making a buttonhole, I made covered snaps and sewed a covered button on top.
The sleeves are supposed have french cuffs, with buttonholes also. But again, I simply turned the cuff into position, and sewed on covered buttons.
The pattern has a hemline, curved up at the sides. Instead, I made 1" side seams,, straightened the hem, and made a slit.
I used Hong Kong finished seams and bound armholes. And here is the finish line.
I will make this again. It's a casual, comfortable garment for fall/winter. Oops--sorry!
