An update, finally!

I have finally gotten back into the swing of this jacket (ha ha, get it? I just crack myself up.) ANYWAY, I draped the three finished pieces over my dress form to get a feel for it so far. The size looks ok, but it just looks so frumpy right now. And the left front seems to be looser than the right front. I think my tension is loosening as I go along. I'm hoping the blocking will fix minor issues like that. Let me know what you think - even constructive comments are very welcome. It's my first garment, so I'm definitely open to suggestions/comments! And thanks - you guys are a great bunch!!
