Finishing Details; The French Jacket. Thank you all for the many comments and compliments about this jacket. The finishing details are what sets French jackets apart and make this jacket unique. In addition to the custom trim, French jackets feature hand worked buttonholes, sleeves are set by hand, countless tiny stitches secure the lining and a metal chain inside the jacket allow it to drape perfectly when worn. I create a sleeve head from cotton batting.

My life, my work, my obsessions, and everything else I think of. Saturday, March 31, 2018. Some utility sewing for me. Since I have a new swimsuit, I thought a new cover up was in order. I used the same pattern I did a year ago, which was my tank top with an added A-Line skirt that starts about waist level. Tuesday, March 27, 2018.

Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. In the summer, I like to take time for some hand embroidery. I remember reading about the Japanese art of sashiko embroidery and quilting on the Purl Bee blog and liking the look and wanting to give it a try. A running stitch, traditionally with white thread on an indigo fabric, creates the design.
