Temptations

[frualeydis]

I wonder, is there anybody but me who feels sorely tempted to make one of these embroidered elizabethan jackets?
Drea Leed has made a jacket of patterned upholstery fabric and Kass McGann has made
one from embroidered fabric. They look great both of them, but I would like to embroider it myself. Is this a sign of insanity?
Anyway it won't be done before I find out which size I'm going to have, so it'll be a year before I even start. But as said, I'm sorely tempted and have borrowed some books with pictures of embroidered jackets today.

Oh, and no baby today either. Yesterday I thought something migh thappen in the next few days, but now everything is back to normal again.

I've been working on one for a little over a year now, but the fashion fabric is a tapestry. As slow as I went putting the trim on it by hand, if I embroidered it I'd NEVER get it done! At this point all I have to do is put the hook&eyetape up the CF, put the gores in, and them finish the hem. (And add the cuffs if I decide I want them)
