Sheriffmuir Jacket from scratch (a DIY project)

[Hothir Ethelnor]

My kilt is being worn a few inches below proper level as it's a modern fashion tartan and a homemade style I tried out.

I'll remember the sleeves part.

I'll sew the tashes an inch deeper into the seam and trim the top off, and they do have pockets.

Nice, NICE work! Have you thought about the 'Make it with Wool' contest? You should check it out and see if you can qualify your jacket for this.

Your fitting is looking pretty good for the mock up. I see you have the shoulder pads in so now, just lightly interface the jacket fronts to prevent the pad line from bulging out the front. You don't need to do this on the mock up of course.

You might need to cut down the front bottom curve of the armhole to smooth out the pucker that goes from there and points upward to the pad. Or, go with thinner padding.

Anyway, carry on. Looking good!
