Photo by TW (colleague) This was a really tough job overall. Especially sewing the buttons on the jacket took time, even though I did it entirely by sewing machine. And then I got inspired to make decorative things like that. I sewed gold thread by hand, etc. I also got inspired to buy a tie from a flea market, from which I cut out some patterns, and sewed them onto the jacket. The plan is that I will also make a bag and a shirt. Well, they haven't even started yet, so it will be a long time before they see the light of day. I am happy with this jacket and skirt. I' d love to use this skirt pattern again. Maybe for quilt work. Skirt from Burda Style 6/2025, MD 108 - working hours about 80-90 hours.
