Excitement in triplicate

Reasons to be excited today:

  • I made a jacket. It is very pretty.

  • This is not me. Which means I've made an adult jacket for someone else. My angst about selling to other ladies with different bodies to mine was aleviated because Anna is in Edinburgh and we had visits for fittings and to make sure she was happy with the way it's been going.

  • I've tweaked the pattern and taken all the photos necessary for the tutorial so this pattern will be coming out very soon in the first two sizes.

    1. That is amazing. Please do it in a size 20-22!

    2. It's lovely. any tips likely to be giong with the tutorial about how to chose fabric that doesn't make your adult look like they need sedation? You seem to manage it very well but when I do adult clothes the wearer (me) generally looks like the clothes should have been made for a child not an adult (fabric choices. Oh the bad fabric choices)

    9. What a beautiful jacket - you are so clever. I have a missing brain link that makes me completely unable to follow a pattern...I am deeply envious of your skill!
