This jacket I made from the batch of thing I got for .50 cents, the garment was a jacket and dress, the top of the dress was a solid yellow linen but had a lot of wear so I did not use it, just the skirt and sleeves with the jacket back, the front had been bound in the solid yellow so it made it extra small, never the less because I am small person I was able to get me a jacket from it. I had to design the jacket to fit the amount of fabric I had, the sleeves are open down the middle with button pearls ever so often to make then partly closed. the front has pearl buttons with loops eyes.

Me too, but I think Australia is a bit far for me to travel from for lessons, but I love the kind thought.
