I added a bit of length (approx. 3 cm) both to the body and to the sleeves.

Initially, I trimmed the buttons with two strands of yarn, according to what the pattern said. But after sewing them on and even after washing the jacket I decided to remove them. They were simply too heavy and didn’t fit through the small button holes. I trimmed them again with one strand of yarn only and like them much better now, although I am still not 100 % happy with the first one; it seems that it is still heavy and makes that the upper left corner of the jacket bends down constantly…

To my surprise, I have only used a bit less than 10 balls of yarn.
