So far, my Butterick jacket is coming along nicely. I have included a picture of the front with pleats. I have pinned the button to the top to see if I really should be using a "humongous" button on little ole me. The pattern calls for 1-1/4" buttons. That would be 3 of them. I found the one in the picture at Hancock's...perfect color, but 1-1/2" in size. Just for fun, I placed 1" buttons on the jacket to get a feel for size...they got lost in the fabric. The sleeves have been sewn into the jacket. I'm now giving it a rest and let it hang on Susie-Q until this evening. All I need to do is hem the jacket bottom and then figure out what really makes sense as far as button size for this jacket.
I'm taking my Narnia book (Prince Caspian) with me outside to read on our porch...DH is studying outside as well. I'm hoping to see the new movie next weekend. It's a gorgeous day outside.

Looking good!!!
Ooo OOo Ooo - I can't wait to see this! I've been drooling over jackets, tops and dresses with this style of pleating at the neckline. I just love the color! It's looking great so far!
