That looks super, DF, I wouldn't have realised that sort of sleeve has gathering in the seam too.  Not sure I like the sound of a corset...

I didn't get round to taking photos of the finished article until today even though I finished about a week ago! Here it is, what do you think?

Looks good.. useful as it is but you can dress it up as well if you want too........
.(ps hope your sore toe is better soon  )

Getting a fair few entries through now 

What I would say is that the entries where we have nice pics of people in them, in good light, really do POP in comparison, so please consider finding a friend to get a nice pic of you. The ones that look best are outside in bright light, so perfect for a garden photoshoot! It really lets people see the detail of what you've made

Hooray...I've finished it... but you won't see a picture of me in it....never put pictures of me on tinterweb...no rational reason just a foible of mine. I'll post a picture of the jacket itself.

Sounds good Saying that you could always hide your face if you wanted to. Or get someone else to model for you.

I'm out of patience asking my daughter if she'd take a photo of me in the red dress, so I've taken Millicent into the garden and photographed it myself.
My daughter doesn't feel she can be bothered to get up from the settee...



I've used 2.3m of fabric and approx 2 metres of lining. I found several scraps of red lining in my stash...I didn't line the sleeves.



The colour doesn't seem to have photographed very accurately. It's actually a proper 'Christmassy' red. It's looking a bit cerise on my screen.

That's lovely Sandra!  I've got cerise too, but it doesn't make it any less lovely

Still using some stash which is good. Thought you'd like to see these Fabrics which I used for making some scarf hangers for gifts.

If they fit, they're not uncomfortable- in fact more comfy than 'shapewear' which bunches and shifts...

Finished at last. Didn't have as much fabric as i thought so rummaged around in my bits box and found 2 long strips. Had to improvise with pattern. Cut panels out slightly smaller on the l shaped piece of fabric and then inserted 2 extra panels at the side front/back. In affect this means there is no side seam so then had to move zip into the back.

Which is great if you don't live alone  sadly the cat is pretty useless at photography
