Another Tosti

[Gernella]

I've done really well here (for me), started beginning of February and finished yesterday.  It was easier second time and a nice silky lining instead of a quilted one so that save work.  I cocked up one of the  snaps using the pliers.  When I was  doing the inner ones they were slightly out of reach of where the snap wanted to go.  Last time I pinned the facing over with quilting clips, this time used my finger.  One doubled up the fabric somewhere and I had a hole at the front and another at the back, in a different place.  Fray check works well!

This one is much lighter in weight and had the sizing taken down.  I spent more on the lining and it shows.  The fabric was from Clothspot, the cotton drill and it is so easy to work with.  I was going for different pockets but the zip ones had more room for rubbish.

They don't allow five weeks for a project though

Ah well that's the beauty of do it yourself, it's a pleasure actually doing it.  Pressure is not something I want although I am sure other members would relish it.

I must admit since doing this from an Indie pattern I am quite impressed, the only problem I have is with the sizing, the main pattern providers you know exactly what you will get but this I went larger, especially on the first one as it was for winter.  This looks larger (the snaps look out as well but they are level) on my lady model but I went two sizes down this time and with the satin lining it feels just right and still has room for manoeuvre if I want anything extra underneath..

After my latest debacle with the shirt I attempted to make I too have realised that time pressure is not welcome in my work-room

That's excellent Gernella -  I'm not sure what I thought a Tosti was but it wasn't a jacket.
I might think about that one but not for a while as I am all jacketed out at the moment.

Wow, @Gernella  , that's fabulous!
