First Homemade Jumper

This lovely brown corduroy number is my first homemade, well semi-homemade, jumper.  I re-appropriated it from an art-therapisty asianesque jacket with a high neck and decorative clasps that I found in my friend's basement.  Luckily I got to reuse the jacket pockets as jumper pockets.  Pockets are a really important feature on any jumper.  And that great neckline was also already part of the jacket.
