Fearless Jacket - Newlook 6188 - Done

I finished this jacket about two weeks ago but couldn't find the right buttons to use, you know this little thing can make or break a project. I was able to get one but not the best I wanted, though will suffice for now.
My sewing mojo went  hiatus due to recent flu that's been going on in my little corner of the world, and being the mom  (aka caregiver) to the kids and hubby,  I eventually broke down too with fever, cough and body aches, it's been so terrible, have been off work since Tuesday afternoon, but thank God things are getting better, my peeps are back to work and school, I just need sometime for me.
While all that was going on, I was able to complete two new office shirts as well. Full reviews will follow later;  please enjoy these for now..

Parting shots, my 7 year old made me a matching purse........ wink

Fearless Jacket - Newlook 6188 - Progress

Hi all, thanks so much for all your comments on my  Newlook 6188 jacket. The whole process really got me thinking  about my main goal of joining the fearless sewalong, aftersome thought I came into a conclusion, I re-cut the back and front bodice and exercised as much patience as possible to join them perfectly, afterall "what is fearless if I am fearful". Few hours later I got an excellent matching plaids and am so proud of myself.
I even did a bit of couture sewing (if that's what's called) I used tie neck interfacing to gather the armhole for sleeve placement, this method worked perfectly without any puckering. Got a bag full of ties for $2 at the thrift shop which I will also be using to make some bias strip for future use.
 I added a real pocket instead of ordinary welt by combining view A welt and view B pocket, I also removed the chest welt because I don't really like any detail in this area.
So far here are what have got, I am working on the lining, hopefully I will have it done in few days
What do you think fellas?
