After quite a few weeks stuck somewhere in the postal system they arrived yesterday and I have taken a photo of them tonight.
In other news I have just changed assignments (again) at work. The new assignment is for 2 years and is based in the local office, so no more driving to the customer site miles away. I am very thankful for this as the winter is coming and the driving is always worse in the dark, rain and other bad weather. It should also release a bit more time for hobbies including sewing!!!!
The new assignment does require me to go into the office pretty much every day and dress smartly - suits, jackets etc so I do really need to crack the whole fitting and making simple jackets this Autumn so I can have a range of suits for work.
** edited to add the back view for Jenni - the jacket has a centre back seam which will really help a lot with the forward head alterations.

Nice patterns! Our tastes must be very alike as I have 5 of those. :)
Well done. Having more sewing time and more patterns is a real bonus.
Sewing sisters are the best!! Enjoy your new patterns!
That will make an awesome outfit for you with a pair of your terrific boots. Look forward to seeing it.
Love the patterns you chose. The one you showed in close up, 1784, looks a fabulous choice for your office suit/smart outfit as I doubt that jacket collar would be all that difficult to alter for your forward head issues. It looks as though you could split it up the back reasonably easily and put it back together with a seam that would fit your neck nicely. Though I've not seen the line drawing so can't be certain of that.
