a few photos & a word on my progress!

I'm still working on my jacket... using McCalls pattern #M4972... I've posted some photos to my 1st blog... the front & back are sewn & pockets handstitched in place!  will continue with the sleeves as soon as I'm off the computer!


I've used this pattern before... and am including photos of the two previous jackets made from this pattern.  As you can see, different fabrics and applications of trim change the look completely. If you find a pattern that fits or is altered to give you a flattering fit, you will get many years of beatiful garments from it! Be sure to take good care of your patterns.. press them before each use & keep them stored neatly when not in use.  

Now, I'm off to sew!  and then get ready for my Intro Class part 2 tomorrow followed by a Sewing Lab for the straight skirt in Butterick pattern #5391!  thank goodness my handsome husband is easy to cook for & is so encouraging!  thanks honey, for being such a good guy!  xoxo
