  • Installing the zipper on front top panels, on a curve, dealing with ease, was immensely fiddly! I can not overstate that enough.

  • Progress! The entire back of the suit is completed. The front needs the side zipper installed before the top gets sewn to the bottom, then both halves will be joined and finished. I don’t have an overlocker, but I have been finishing the seams using a stretch blanket stitch on the machine, so effectively all…

  • Finalised the sleeves in prep for fur cutting. The original sleeve was embarassingly too large so I reduced the armhole (old sleeve). This was too small and stretched the sleeve/torso sections. Some slight modifications and I have a sleeve that is tight but not too tight, and doesn’t stretch (new sleeve).

  • This is a much better pattern! Look at that range of movement, so many wiggles. A few minor tweaks still, but none that will stop me ordering fur now!
