Sandra was inspired by Jane's challege to make a jacket using Marcy Tilton's Vogue 8676 pattern. She purchased the wool boucle from Moods in New York City, and flew here from New Jersey to join us. It was a very proud moment for all of us when she completed this gorgeous silk lined, couture jacket. |
Jane is fitting a muslin on Sandra for a jacket. The Vogue pattern 8621 (out of print) was designed by Claire Shaeffer. I am sure you will see the completed jacket on this website soon. |

Laura worked on this cool dress for the summer heat. |

With the last piece of leather being cut, Vicki E is happy the more difficult parts of making this jacket will be done.
