Here’s my gorgeous missus in her fancy-schmancy new StyleArc Ziggi jacket…at last!
Light gold heavyweight cotton sateen [eBay purchase, not sure what seller], heavyweight ‘gold’ metal zips, also from eBay, shot viscose brocade lining from the Fancy Silk Store. Lots and lots of hand stitching, because she’s worth it!

A truly inspiring jacket. It fits beautifully, don’t get me started on all that hand stitching, it’s so even and neat, a labour of love without a doubt.

What a fantastic jacket. You have done a great job. It looks wonderful on and fits beautifully. Do you think that now you have nailed it that you will make it again? It is too nice to just make one. 🙂 Xx

Wow that’s a-maz-ing dar-ling and that topstitching was totally worth it as it lifts the whole jacket up a notch, it’s something I may have to copy. Love it, well done you.

Another job well done and well worth the hair-tearing out moments, sweating over poor instructions and still managing perfect topstitching. Happy customer!

It’s not perfect, but who looks lthat close? It’s also way less obvious then machine topstitching that goes awry!
