Where on earth did you learn all this????? *deep sigh* <br />I feel like I'm running to keep up & I'll never grasp it all before its too late. :/<br /><br />LOVE the lime colors you're going to work with for the bags. Lime & black is one of my very most favorite color combinations...like pink & green! :DRettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-84255185012892676592010-10-23T08:03:03.456-04:002010-10-23T08:03:03.456-04:00On the overlap.

On the sleeve, I've been known to "cheat" a little and tack it down "silently" - you know what I mean...so it doesn't show through either side but lays flat. In front I've noticed a lot of authentic Chanel jackets just "kiss" or meet when there is a thick trim (like the fringe trim so popular a while ago), but some do cross. I think this depends upon you. I've even seen some that are not trimmed on the under side. Personally, I don't like that. <br /><br />Maybe you can sew the trim down pretty close to the fabric and this will keep it from being too thick on the lapover. <br /><br />Anxious to see this finished as it looks so gorgeous. You'll wear it forever.ClaireOKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794385586295229490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-66226740761639529552010-10-22T22:20:20.465-04:002010-10-22T22:20:20.465-04:00OMG, this looks great.

I have never made a bound BH in my life, but will now have to try. <br /><br />I love the green paisley, and the zebra makes a very nice contract.Cynthia Gilbrethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124840580430749378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-22345681110940549652010-10-22T22:01:18.587-04:002010-10-22T22:01:18.587-04:00I am truly in awe of the construction and the tech...I am truly in awe of the construction and the techniques you are using to make this jacket!
