AliceB said... Very impressive! The embroidery is a very creative touch to zip up a plain fabric. :) 8/28/06 7:51 PM

patsijean said... This is a nice casual jacket--everyone will think it is RTW. About those sleeves--they do appear much longer in the drawings and on the model. Feel free to lengthen them on the "lengthen/shorten here" line. I use a blind hem a lot and some fabrics will show the stitches more than others. Practice a lot and try loosening your needle tension, and you might also want to use that "invisible" nylon thread. I've done that quite often. And, press, press, press. 8/29/06 0:46 AM
