I couldn’t figure out the weird darts in the cut on hood. They made the hood really pointy, like a gnome. Not one of my favorite looks. So, I hacked that off, cut a new neckline and added a collar like the one that my Forever Fur jacket has. [...] [...] However, as I started sewing it, I needed to make some modifications on the fly.

And no - she didn't pay me to say this. But seeing how cool it looks (and how warm she is in it, during our nasty cold spell) it makes me consider learning to sew.

That is, when the collar is lined up with the body of the jacket, it goes almost all the way from edge to edge of the jacket, minus the facings where you place the coat hooks. My fabric was also directional (the fibers laid vertically downward, like a corduroy)... So I folded it like a napped fabric and futzed with the layout until is worked. Post a comment or drop me an email (sewersewist at gmail dot com) if this doesn't make sense. The seam of the collar is sewn to the jacket lengthwise.

The poodle fur is very cool. This is the next project on my list, actually, and I am in the process of cutting out my fabric. However, I am getting stuck on the collar layout. Can you tell me, which end is sewn to the neck line? Is it the seam or fold? Also, is your fabric directional? Mine is, but not the same as BWOF fabric choice and I'm having real spatial conception issues :P Thanks! Your version of the jacket is great! The poodle fur is very cool.
