Sheesh. This is by far the most difficult tute I've written (don't worry, I'm not saying it'll be the most difficult to sew!) because of the added complication of cuffs, pockets, hood, and zipper. And trying to fit 62 resized, annotated images into a tute that won't be £25 a pop to print. Which has lead me to further masochism... I'm going to go PDF with this one to begin with. Which means I can finally use some folks from outside my usual testing pool. Lovely volunteer testers expect the tute this afternoon! After I pop some painkillers / anti-depressants / beta-blockers for my carpal tunnel syndrome / hunchback / pressure sores / cross eyes from sitting at this computer for 120 hours straight, I'll get down to some hardcore tracing / cutting / scanning / crying and I'll email the actual pattern pieces as soon as I can. Good luck everybody and look forward to seeing what you make!
