Thanks to everyone for the support!
The jacket is a fiasco, I do not have anough fabric to do it again. I had preshrunk both fabric and interfacing, however, I guess, some fabrics are just not meant to be fused.
Anyway, once the semester is over I 'll try it again, in a more spring-summery fabric, and hopefully it would work.
I have two completed projects (from before the jacker fiasco) I have to blog about (pants and a top) but have to take pictures first.
Thanks again to everyone for the support.
I have a question... If I am to use sew-in interfacing, what type do I have to buy? Specifically, what do you use if you are using light- to medium weight fabric? Do you still use Hymo? If yes, which parts do you apply to?

Crashed...
Remember when some time ago I posted about a muslin for a boyfriend blazer? Well, I worked some more on the muslin, ordered fabric, made the blazer, the lining... The only thing I had to do was to attach the lining to the blazer. Then, the fusible interfacing started bubbling...
I have been sewing since the early 80s and have never had this happen to me before. I have used this intefacings before successfully, so my guess would be the fabric was the reason. The fabric was wool, so maybe that is why...
It is so sad because I used my entire spring break to male it and who knows when I have the same chunk of time to dod it again, if i do it again.
On the upside, the fit is great, it looks awesome on me, I learned how to make a chest pocket, a new technique for making a notched lapel, and a back vent technique.
Still though, if you have ever attempted a tailored blazer, you know how much work goes into it to get it to where you have to attach the lining, and I just ...OMG... I cannot believe it...
