I made a jacket on the weekend as a sister to the tartan APC one that I wear constantly. It's been years since I made anything this complicated, and I half can't believe that I managed it. The pattern was adapted from a Built by Wendy style, and the fabric (drab from afar, flecks of primary colours up close) was from Job Warehouse. Buttons from Buttonmania in The Nicholas Building. (I enjoyed that little excursion yesterday, what a jewel that building is!)However after wearing it just once I have realised that the fabric is not very good quality and it will probably resemble a sack before the end of winter. Maybe then I'll make one out of something better for next year....

Pero te ha quedado preciosa! ser capaz de confeccionar ropa es un talento que admiro muchísimo!!!
Isn't the Nic Building just to die for? YOur jacket is immensely impressive. I remember at school the girls who could make jackets were The Queens of needlecraft. the rest of us could only look on and sigh...and continue with our kaftans. jx
Thank you so much Alice! :)
And thank you too Jen -- there's nothing wrong with a good kaftan -- I'd rather be sewing one too....
I can't believe it - you are gifted and hopefully warmer too! love the flecks
Thank you Ms Wink! Sewing doesn't require that much talent, just alot of patience. And no, it's not warm -- that's partly due to the inferior fabric quality and the fact that we have already entered coat weather. Enjoy your sunny Sydney....
