I remember it like it was yesterday! I was 7 years old at the time and was laying on my stomach on my Oma's couch in Cologne, West Germany (before reunification) watching it on the only television in the house.

Lovely!

I absolutely love the skirt! Thank you so much for sharing the ensemble with us.

OMG, I am so envious! Your jacket is divine and you've styled it so well.

What a wonderful shirt, Kenneth! Thank you for sharing this technique. And, if anyone can rock a Fortuny jean or jacket, it's you!

Rabia, that sounds like a blindstitch machine. I have one and love it! I work in an industrial machine shop so I see all sorts of really cool machines. At the moment, I am coveting a cylinder-arm walking-foot machine, sigh.

Oh, Louise, that's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it.

I'm surprised to see the lower part of the facing finished off by hand. It's so much easier and neater to stitch that last bit by machine when bagging the lining.

It's a vintage zigzag attachment for a straight stitch machine.
