This blog has been in a period of hiatus. Interestingly my sewing hasn't rested, but I get like that sometimes. I once waited 17 years to go to the dentist and the longer I left it the more embarrassing it became. Since I last posted I have completed two t-shirts, a blouse and two jackets!
The jacket featured was made for my daughter's graduation. The pattern is Vogue 8865 that I think is still available in out-of-print sale. I love my version made from crazy splatter print ponte from Tessuti with very good quality faux leather sleeves and collar purchased from Cleggs in Melbourne. The zips give it an edgy feel.
Now the ice is broken, I'll post more photos soon.
Your jacket looks great Gail. And you all look so happy too. Congratulations you wonderful Mum.
