The jacket has three-piece sleeves. The pieces are cut with the grain at an angle to encourage the sleeve to curve like the natural curve of the arm.
Here I've sewn the three jacket pieces together by machine, interfaced along the edge, and hand sewn the trim. Next I pinned the lining in place and hand basted the quilting lines.
I next sewed the buttonholes. Next time I'll sew the buttonholes before sewing on the trim, as having the bulk of the trim in the way makes it a little more difficult to sew the buttonhole.
Next I hand sewed the lining around the hemline, and hand sewed the center sleeve closed. Now I'll move the lining sections out of the way and sew the outer sleeve to the jacket.
Once the sleeve is sewn to the body I trim and press, hand sew the sleeve lining to the jacket, and sew on the buttons. One sleeve is done, one more to go
