Following a pattern - gillet



As a whole the gillet is make ok. The quality of the stitching, seems and the pockets coul have been better (but as the first garment I have made from a pattern, I have learned a lot). 




First of all, I sewed larger seem allowances than the pattern had allowed, this meant the pockets didn't actually got inside the lining so I had to make them smaller ( to an extent that you have to have very small hands to use te pockets).





The lineing if around the sleeves turned out to be quite messy as there was to much fabric the sew, this meant the edge was loosely stitched. 





The seems arond the larger panels look neat, as it was more simple to get a good quality stitch on these long straight edges. 





The quality of the of the collar is good. It is only at the points of the collar that the pattern wasn't cut to the right size, so the matetial bunch a little.
