Reinforced and embroidered jacket yoke

My aunt bought two identical jackets that she loves and wears constantly, but they have been discontinued. They are well made with the exception of the yoke, which was only one thickness and was tearing on both jackets.

For the first jacket, I cut another thickness out of jersey and basted it together with a washable-dissolving embroidery paper and stitched all around the edges and sashiko quilted the entire yoke in black embroidery floss.

For the second jacket, I started the same way, but realized I didn't need to do quite SO MUCH quilting. So I drew a diamond pattern and quilted in blue embroidery floss. I actually wanted to embroider something decorative inside the diamonds, but ran out of oomph. Maybe a future project!
