Rom I've been doing those jackets for years and you are right on with the pattern for it. I do the same except that I don't use white glue. I choose the color I want the jacket to be and I use acrylic craft paint to paint the tissue (its messy and the tissue will rip if not careful) and once painted I put the jacket or paints in place while they are still wet. I do the parachutes the same way. Here is a link where you will find my parachute how to. http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/tubshouse/Album25/ just scroll down through the album and you'll see the tutorial on how to do open chutes. Here is a pic of the very first jacket that I did. Help this helps you some Rom.
