The BWOF 1/2008 #127 jacket on me, for those who need proof that I actually wear the stuff that I spend most of my free time sewing!I wore it to work Monday, and I love it! I admit to spending a good part of my day petting the leather cuffs, and dropping things into my fully-functioning welt pockets.
I had a bad case of the unbearables, but it's beginning to wear off now.
Even the best case of unbearable can't last forever, not when you come cut out a bunch of projects for obligatory craft show sewing, and what does your ungrateful (tired?) wretch of a sewing machine do?It wheezes, pulls briefly to the left like a balk supermarket shopping cart, and slows to a sludgy crawl. Grr. I open her up, pull out the bobbin case, blow a small cat worth of fluff and rubble fromthe inside, reassemble, try again, and about 3 inches later, the same thing happens.
Apparently I'm meant to take a break.
Whether I want one or not.Ask me if I want a break.
I dare you.

Your jacket looks incredible. Great job on all the details. Sorry about your machine.
Beautifully done, Karen. Perfect fit too. Let me know if you need to borrow a 1941 Singer.
