Thank you, Rachel. I’ll give a try.
@liesl, I don’t see a picture… It’s also dark for me, I also live in Madrid…!
Thanks for your help. I hope I can catch up during the weekend.

Mine is all finished and I am smitten with this pattern!! I can’t wait to share and make another one.

@jessamyb Oh dear. I’ll do a blog post about interfacing to explain it a bit more–I just realized we’ve never really covered it in depth, so that might be helpful to you. In the meantime, however, I think you could remove it from the front placket by just unpicking the final seams that finished the placket. Then you could tear out the interfacing…[Read more]
