Bolero

So I am making a matching bolero to go with my IW replica JSK.  I cut the pattern out the other night & it will need some altering.  Fortunately not too much.  Mainly just fitting.  The arms are really big & the length is a bit too long.  The underarm is too low too.  After I fix that, sewing it will be easy since I just need to sew the front to the back.  I also want to add a ruffle along the edge & cuffs and have ribbon ties in the center to close it.  I think it will be cute.  I'm going to wait on color because I want to buy my dress fabric first.  I'll match it to the dress fabric.

Here's the pattern I chose to use:
