Tennis girl said... Thanks to all who said I seem more advanced than adv. beginner but I only started sewing a year ago last January. I have to admit I've taken a lot of the PR Online classes with Susan Khalje and Sarah Veblen. I credit Sarah V.'s online class "Buttons and Buttonholes" for helping me to recognize the buttons were in the wrong place. I had to use a 3" notebook to hold all the print outs of the class lessons. And Susan K. taught me "couture" both in her online classes and her sewing school. My next adventure with Susan is a Chanel Jacket class in a few weeks. I can't wait! 4/28/11 1:00 AM

Aroura said... Beautiful jacket! You may have only started sewing a year and half ago, but skill isn't about time invested (I've been sewing many years, no classes though), it's about...skill. And yours is clearly fantastic!!
The collar is fabulous. Great job. :) 5/1/11 3:12 PM
