Finished the Vogue 8090
Okay! I finished up the Vogue 8090 jacket. I have mixed feelings about it. I love the lapped "tails" in the front and back, but I'm not crazy about the shoulder line. I don't think I'm a dropped shoulder girl. I need a set-in sleeve and a bit more of a tailored fit. I plan to make some pants from a denim in the same color but without the quilting and a skirt too, if I have enough fabric. But I have two other projects to finish before those.

I love the seam binding on this jacket. Personally, I think the jacket's wonderful, but I understand your issue with not being the dropped shoulder type. After just having finished Vogue 7903, I've pretty much decided I'm not the tailored blouse type. Which is annoying, because I like them.
Congrats on your swap plan, BTW. I can't wait to see all the pieces.
umm... why does a person bind the edges of the finished garment?
I agree w/you about the jacket.
And will be watching the capsule clothes plan (great idea).
I bound the edges because I don't like unfinished seams inside a garment. They are more prone to unraveling during washing and look messy. I usually do french seams, bind the seams in a Hong Kong finish or line the garment. This was too thick of a fabric for French Seams and lining the jacket wasn't do-able with the way the back tails are constructed. So bind it was!
