Here's the pattern to remind you!
Biker Babe Jacket
Since Hot Patterns are A.L.W.A.Y.S. too big, I was surprised that the jacket kinda fit. I've got the jacket 'zipped' here and the bust is a good fit, but then it flares out and no longer fits.
BTW, I HATE attaching sleeves. It's my least favorite sewing thing to do, that's why it sucks here, cause I DIDN'T CARE!
*evil laugh*
Extra fabric! I think I'll take off about 3-4"
Looks cute 'unzipped'!
Now let's talk about the length. I didn't add the bottom facing, didn't need any more cutting. There's a lot of pieces here! The facing adds about 1.5 inches to the bottom of the jacket so its still pretty darned short and I want to cover my belly! I'm going to add 2 inches to all the body pieces and then work from there. I'm also adding about 1.5 inches to the sleeves. I like long sleeves.
Finally, one thing to note when making muslins. If you accidentally sew back to front, it doesn't matter.
I need to paint that wall.

Wow! That's going to be so pretty. You should stick with your plan, a little longer, a little thinner. Looks good coming and going, zipped, and not! Good choice.
