Stop it !! Oh go on then say it again

Well not quite stunning at the moment but with a few tweaks here and there it may well be in the end

Ok I've scrapped the original test suit shown previously and started from scratch. This time using a more accurately textured fabric, colour and design. Much harder to make, but not so bulky looking, and it's now in proportion. Certainly worth all the extra effort

Once its been taken in and fitted properly it should look ace

Sooo . . . did you hand fell the seams on the inside?

From the experience of hand-making 1:1 scale U.S. Civil War clothing, I know how difficult setting the collar and sleves on that coat would be.

Actually I did overlock em

If you're going to make something like this and spend so much time on it, then it's a pointless project unless you really do it as well as possible. Lords the fitting and stitching of the sleeves and collar were a job and a half

That jacket is made up of 12 pieces in all !! And at only 5 inches in length it's a tiny thing to work on

Jacket fitted this mornng and skirt made.
