Whew! This jacket was completed in the knick of time. I promised ‘the end of summer,’ which technically won’t be until September 22nd, but because I think that Labor Day is the official end of summer, Labor Day was my goal. I was on a mission to finish. And Hooray! I did it!
I usually keep a hand sewing project next to my comfy TV chair and work on it slowly without a concern or thought for time. It takes as long as it takes and I don’t pay attention to the clock or the day or even the month. I had zero idea how long it had taken me the first time to make this jacket, so it was a surprise to realize how many hours I had spent.
It was a while,….
But I’m on the other side now. Done! Such a good feeling.
Next up, a video. I’m going to be participating in the American Craft Council’s online craft show this October, ‘The American Craft Made Pop-Up Market.’ They sent out a request for a 30 second video about one of the pieces that will be available for sale.
They’re fun to make so we’re on it. Scarves do well online, so that’s my subject. All about a scarf in a 30 second video.
Wish us luck!
Happy Happy Happy Labor Day to you and all my wishes for a lovely Fall, when ever you decide that it begins.
Never doubted you’d meet your deadline.
Thank you for the vote of confidence Jeannette! I appreciate it.
Your work is beautiful but I wish the typeface of your blog were other than tiny and pale gray. That seems the preferred style now but it really detracts from enjoyment of a blog.
Carol, I’m sorry you’re having trouble with my font. Did you try enlarging to see if that helps?
It might just be your monitor, it is easy to read on all of my devices.
If anyone else is having trouble, please let me know so I can figure out if more people are having difficulties with my font.
Thanks for alerting me to this issue!

Gorgeous work as usual Ann. I admire your patience with the beading – I know I could never do it! Will your share your 30 video on “all about a scarf”?
Yes Judith! Absolutely I will share my video. When it’s ready for viewing I’ll be sure and make sure it’s available for all to see.
Love the beading! Good interaction with the B&W of the strips.
Unfortunately, I agree with the gal above about the font. Can you make it darker?
Thank You Sally! And thanks for the feedback on the font. I’ll check in with my web-master and see if she can make it darker.
Exquisite. Almost makes me want to go back to work so I have a reason to buy & wear!
Thank You Lee! Such a compliment!
Beautiful, you are the best and you have lots of patience. I am trying to get there.
Thank You Marion!
I love, love seeing your beautiful creative jackets.
Thank You Barbara!
