Title: My First Solo Sewing Project!
Post by: Charlotte Rowan on May 20, 2008, 08:48:43 AM

I've been sewing with my mom on and off since I was about 16, but I've never done anything on my own before. But the lovely MetheGreat convinced me to make my own pirate coat instead of buying one, and I'm proud to say that so far, it is turning out very well! :D

That's a loverly jacket, you've done an amazing job on it :). I adore the colour.

Is that by chance the Pirates of the Caribbean pattern from Simplicity? It's an awesome pattern.

Thanks! It is a Simplicity pattern, but it's not the PoTC one. It's this one:

Can't hardly wait, me. Dead impatient, aren't I!

(Procrastinating here - got a boring skirt project, and even the though of the dosh hasn't kick-started me!)
