It suits you to a tee!
Thank you for a close up of the detailing. This is a really special find and not something that I would dream of finding in Australia.
It's an amazing jacket.

It took me a while to figure out what floating meant but the construction including the thread chain illustrates this well. Thank you Louise.

I still keep coming back to this post. It's such a handy reminder when I move away from making jackets and coats for a few months - like when summer arrives!

I'm making formal dresses for a couple of family weddings but I'd rather learn now the drape a long grecian style dress. One day maybe....

Does it really work?
I'd love to use this and see how it works. This would be worthwhile trialling on standard projects and those curves and small projects that normal sewing machines makes us struggle with.
I'm definitely going to glue some felt onto my machines. That's such a great idea to have the pin cushion on the machine:)) Just brilliant James.

I've been watching bloggers rave about this book and start to use it. So I'd be stoked to get a copy and get cracking. Cheers and bubbles.
