Some of you may have read I was working on a jacket rebuild for my daughter. Here are the before and after pictures:

Hope to have some pics of her in full gear the end of today.

I like it. But those front pockets are a tad too small

Yeah, that's cute. I'm chuckling, too. You know, the pockets were my only real hold up. I hadn't really ever looked at this jacket since I quit wearing it I don't know how many years ago. It was only when I got into dismantling it did I find the pockets were not patch-type (which would have been easy enough to remove and make smaller), but had a cord sewn in behind, making a welt, I guess you'd call it. I took the cord out, but found it wasn't possible to scale down the pockets appropriately.

This was so much fun to do, no question about it. Still need to put a liner in it, but it's good to go for today's activities.
