Just finished this sewing project to alter a 1950s vintage Swedish goatskin jacket gifted from @Herrvallmo (I hope you don't mind man :D )

It fit decently but now that I had a better understanding of my measurements, I decided to take the plunge and have my first experience sewing leather. This was a thin hide so I got the job done with my walking foot, leather needle, and my little sewing machine that could.

Used the excess parts to cut a leather tab and also panels to cover the former pockets when I shortened the length a bit. Also put a dark brown cotton lining since this was initially unlined. Happy with the results :)
