Sergeant Jacket

It was a lot of fun sewing this jacket :)

Linen is a great fabric to work with.

Instead of sewing velour ties in front I made paspels in black linen and decorated them with buttons.

To make it even more special I have used red and gold ties as decoration on the collar and the sleeves. 

I have used cotton fabric as lining for the body and black ordinary lining for the sleeves.
