This little tweed jacket was a great find. The shoulders were a little wide and we needed to take out the shoulder pads. To adjust the shoulders for a better fit, I unpicked the lining just inside the shoulders and stitched the cap of the sleeves in about 2 cms. The excess material was trimmed and the seam was finished off with a zig zag stitch. The lining was handstitched back together. Zoe likes to roll up the sleeves a little. We LOVE this jacket. It takes me back to the 70s! The 70s belonged to us and now this generation is wearing out clothes!!
