I had a wonderful day sewing today.   The Ottrobre jacket pattern that I'm using for the Halloween costume is wonderfully drafted.  Even with the amount of manipulation that I did (i.e., enlarging), it went together perfectly.  I estimate that I'm about half way done.  The jacket is sewn together and topstitched.  It just needs cuffs on the sleeves, a collar, zipper, facing, and hemming.  That shouldn't take too long to complete.  Hopefully, I will have the afternoon and evening to finish up the jacket.  Then, it will be on to the bag.  I'm thinking that should be fairly easy.  Although, I admit that I have never drafted a bag before. 
The creation of the pocket flap and stitching it on went very well.  I did take pictures of the process of creating the patterns and cutting out the pocket, flaps, lining, and interfacing.  Once I finish the entire costume, I will post a tutorial of the pocket flap and the pocket lining.
Tomorrow morning, I will be helping neighbors with a garage sell.  I hope that we sell everything very quickly. 
Happy Sewing!
