Ok, fine. I'm sure that title has been done to death since the Papercut Watson was released, but come on - its a caped jacket and all kinds of awesome. I wouldn't have had the nerve to make it without Sandra of Flossie FT having let me try on her's! This adopting people's sewing creations as a means of deciding what to make is becoming a habit. Its so lovely to be able to try on the finished product to figure about sizing and fit. I started making the jacket on the Fabric Hoarders Winter Retreat . It was so wonderful to be surrounded by talented ladies when embarking on a new (and slightly terrifying) project. On the advice of the lovely fabric hoarders, I waited and interfaced the check fabric. It did mean some hairy moments with a lot of fabric to manipulate at times! This jacket is the make I'm most proud of since I started sewing. I really love it. The only downside is there isn't pockets. I'm really not sure why they
Nice to see you have been so clever and crafty with your card making! Good luck with the house selling, and hope it keeps tidy for you! Helen x
