Anyone got a few quid spare to attend a 5 day sewing course in the beautiful New Forest.

SMM, I would love to do something like this, it looks great.  Unfortunately, OH and myself are self employed, and time off is very thin on the ground.

When If I (ever) retire....  ;)

I hate to say it, but if I did have the cash for a course like this, I suspect that when I came out at the end of it I would probably end up  being highly critical of my sewing and it would take all the enjoyment and pleasure out of it.

This happened in my teens, I enjoyed dancing, then it was either rock and roll or  ballroom.  I was persuaded to join a ballroom dancing formation team, fun at first but gradually I began to hate the lack of freedom in the way I danced and probably, the discipline needed.  Not for me.

It would be an experience but not for me...I don't wear tailored clothes and wouldn't want to spend forever making one couture garment... I make everyday wear not something I would want to hang onto forever.

is it just me, or is that 'jacket' just a  shirt? Very nice and all that, but it's not a jacket is it?

Looks more like a shirt than a jacket to me. May be just the photo, but not selling it very well.

Indeed, not.  Definitely a shirt.
