Brava! Your top is just wonderful!! You might experiment with this in another fabric, something like a heavy knit with lots of stretch, and that "tightness" would disappear. I love the colors and the embroidery is beautiful!!

Very impressive! The embroidery is a very creative touch to zip up a plain fabric. :)

This is a nice casual jacket--everyone will think it is RTW. About those sleeves--they do appear much longer in the drawings and on the model. Feel free to lengthen them on the "lengthen/shorten here" line. I use a blind hem a lot and some fabrics will show the stitches more than others. Practice a lot and try loosening your needle tension, and you might also want to use that "invisible" nylon thread. I've done that quite often. And, press, press, press.

Love that fabric. Pretty jacket. I'm impressed at your results with so little sewing experience.

I am also impressed, especially since I am a grandmother of a 1 & 4 yr old.I remember squeezing sewing time.I think it helped keep my sanity, back then.You will do great on future projects, if you are starting out like this one!
