The Finished Mermaid



Last night I finished my Mermaid Jacket! I started it on July 19th and completed Sept 25th which was too bad considering all the questions I had in the beginning. It fits very nicely- flares off the hips and nips in at the waist. I am so pleased that I was able to complete this and have it fit so nice. I had some doubts I must say at the beginning- it isn't "just garter stitch" I can tell you that!


OK- now some measeurement details:
sleeves: top of left sleeve: 24 1/4 inches
underside of left sleeve: 16 inches
top of right sleeve: 24 inches
underside of right sleeve: 16 inches
shoulder seam: right side to bottom edge: 25 inches
left side to bottom: 25 inches
back center line: 25 inches


The jacket has been washed, blocked and is now drying. Let's hope the sleeves haven't grown while wet!
