I have spotted your posting about moulding the sleeve cap and you mention Acro interfacing cut on the bias. I have not heard of Acro here in the U.K. and would like to know more. I am due to put in my sleeves soon.........would love to make a good job of them, and yours always look amazing. Gosh, the cashmere sleeves in the coat you made are superbly immaculate. I want mine to look as good......I WISH!!Marysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959080591821794196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-62809724603692433282010-10-22T20:17:14.928-04:002010-10-22T20:17:14.928-04:00I just discovered your blog and am amazed at your ...I just discovered your blog and am amazed at your skills, beautiful garments, and the tutorials.

The skirts have kilt style pleats in the front, and the jackets are chanel type. And the only trim are those pockets, which I cut on the bias.<br /><br />They found the synthetic wool in my stash. It is plaid and is about 13 years old. This is proof that if you keep it long enough, it will come back in style.<br /><br />It is primarily bright pink and they could just invision it with black turtle necks and leggings. I will finish the second jacket tonight, and then all I will need to do is hem the skirts. They are so simple, but are so cute. <br /><br />I have loved seeing how you construct your garments. You inspire me.Memaw's memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551836962653092248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-27813613387124555462010-10-19T07:42:50.192-04:002010-10-19T07:42:50.192-04:00Smart idea for the trim.

I am always in some mad rush for a deadline. I see that I need to just learn to enjoy the art of sewing, not just hurry up and add something to the closet.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960310379822122045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-72358175082865990942010-10-18T21:36:31.994-04:002010-10-18T21:36:31.994-04:00It's going to be amazing (no big surprise ther...It's going to be amazing (no big surprise there), I *love* what you did with the trim!
