Notes: Made for Mike. Begun November 2009, finished December 2009. Mostly machine sewn. I had to make major modifications to the pattern in order to get it to fit. It ran larger than the envelope indicated, and there was an excess hump of fabric in the back. But I am very satisfied with the result. Main reference was Fitting and Proper by Sharon Ann Burnston.
