Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!
Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]

On phone please excuse grammar
As long as this does not leave the sleeve cap and under arm too tight
How about two back French darts at the back , below the shoulders and darting the centre back of the sleeve ? -

I have finally finished my daughters vintage pattern trench coat. (Happy dance)
I am looking forward to sewing her twin’s Lisette Moto jacket. Far less fabric to negotiate.

I can’t see any problems with that Ellen. If you get ticked off, blame me 😉
If you are nervous, perhaps post a link to a Flickr photo and people can comment on that?
