I look forward to seeing the end result, especially the dart/strip technique. I am sure it will be exquisite.Tomasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001675806748209852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-15006567756455934302014-11-05T09:03:04.207-05:002014-11-05T09:03:04.207-05:00That's really helpful, Diana.

The shoulders fit really well but there is way too much stuff in the upper back( I have a narrow back as well!) I too added a center back seam, did a sway back adjustment but also finished the back darts up higher on the back. I do love the jacket , though. That neckline is really pretty.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500041147303339117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-55539079592877876922014-11-05T06:35:41.559-05:002014-11-05T06:35:41.559-05:00Ott lights have such a fan club, but frankly I am ...Ott lights have such a fan club, but frankly I am not one of them. I do have a small desk one that I bought which I use to focus directly on my sewing machine area but that replaced a cheap bendable desk lamp that broke and I really didn't find it any better. Personally, I think it's about the bulb and I don't think Ott has the market on that. I go to the local electrical supply and get the "full spectum bulbs". They make a huge difference and also are a lot cheaper than the overhyped Otts.
