Work in Progress on Jacket Continues

My jacket is coming along slowly but surely!  I spent some time figuring out how to line this unlined jacket with the help of some reviews on www.patternreview.com and also an excellent book called Easy Guide to Sewing Linings by Connie Long.  That book is no longer in print, but can be downloaded onto your computer for a reasonable price.  The book can be purchased for a pretty penny online at sites such as Ebay or Amazon as well as some online bookstores.

I hope to get more accomplished today now that I have a better feel for what to do as far as the lining.  Still debating on what type of buttonholes.  I'm kicking around the idea of bound buttonholes, but may just use one of the fancy buttonhole stitches on my fancy Janome 12000.

Here's the front and back sides of my jacket so far:

Back of jacket.  Don't worry...that's the camera flash, not a bleached out spot!  I'm so good at taking pictures! ;)

Thanks for following along,
