The main fabric which is rip-stop has been cut out for a few weeks now and last weekend at the ASG Alexandria group meeting I thread marked the elastic casing marks on all the pieces and started to add zippered welt pockets to the front, after viewing Maria's Minoru at the same meeting.
I cut out the lining yesterday, you can see a peak of it in the pocket.
The sleeves are stitched to the front and back and have been topstitched.
I have decided to line the hood, both are stitched but not joined together. After reading so many other Minoru constructions, I'm trying to decide if I will add an elastic draw string to the hood like Rocket Sews did with hers. Think I need to do a test buttonhole to see how it works on the rip-stop, my decision might be made for me.

I love your lining Sharon and you're pockets look perfect too.
You and Marie are putting the RTW jacket makers to shame! The pockets look like a work of art. Love the colours.
A welt zipper pocket? You have some skills!
Looking good so far. Alexandria looks like becoming one non-stop fashion runway. It is a den for inspiration.
Your jacket's looking great and zips in those pockets are a useful idea for future reference. It might be worthwhile trying a small square of interfacing behind the drrawstring buttonhole if you can do that with ripstop? I was thinking about your post this morning and wondered also about little metal eyelets? The lining is beautiful peeking out of your pocket.
Your pockets look very professional! And I just love the look of that lining too!
Such beautiful attention to detail. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed version.
