Leather Jacket

I made this for my sister Charlotte for Christmas. Looks awesome on her. All the things I have been making out of leather are from recycled coats my mum finds at at a thrift store for super cheap. There's a layer of waffle stretchy knit, and then a combed cotton. It'll be as warm as I could have made it I think, while still being fitted. Plus the awesome paisley pocket I added at my sister's request, after watching her fumble for a wallet space several times.
 My mannequin is slightly larger than my sister who is very tiny, so you can see it doesn't quite close, but on her it does, which was a lucky guess on fitting, 'cause she lives in Halifax  and I am so incredibly pregnant, I can't even imagine a waistline.
