  thanks for your reply. I recently hale from Buckie on the Moray Firth coast, now living south of the border !A At first my husband wore a white tuxedo ( like Humphrey Bogarde ! ) and I wore a full length gown . Then he purchased a military uniform ( from the market ) and loved to wear that ! I have seen men wearing wider trousers with turn-ups and fairisle sweaters— or golfing style sweaters, waistcoats. Look for accessories like ties, cravats — two tone shoes ! In case he doesn’t fancy the full rig-out ! I am celebrating Burn’s night tonight with my English neighbours !! I have added you as a friend ! Strange about the cats !!

    Went away for the weekend so not much sewing. Got to finish those jeans this week, just have had no time, halfway through a mac coat and I want to make the lady grey before winter ends properly. Supposed to be making hubby a jacket too :) Finally got my wedding invites off so I can actually get some sewing done!

  Edinburgh is beautiful. I can’t think any other city in the UK I’d rather live in…however, I can think of plenty other cities in Europe I’d love to live in ;-) I still have the travelling bug I’m afraid. Hope you have a lovely time over here! If I spot you in the street I’ll be sure to say ‘Hi’ :-)

  thanks for your comment! I love your projects, and their titles are gorgeous!! Some of the titles gave me quite a chuckle as I was looking through… Your children are so lucky to be the recipients of your talent, and I hope you make tallulah bells’s wedding dress one day too!

  I think after 2 or 3 years you can consider your collection complete and cancel the subscription, they repeat after that, same pattern just newer fabric, I’ve already seen double ups for patterns and I’ve barely got 1 years worth!

  Hih hi, I had a look in some tailoring books at the library, but also there is Gertie’s blog heaps of info on coats, she made lots of posts when she did her’s so have a look there and see if it helps you out :) http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/search/label/coat You won’t need that much specialist equipment just a bit of time and patience

  I was going to message you to see if you had your burda Jan yet cos I don’t have mine either, I feel like I have missed a whole month out! Anyway, I usually get it around the 12th so maybe next week…I wrote a little blog about the new Patrones here: http://burdastyleclubs.ning.com/profiles/blogs/patrones-289-february-2010 I just used the ning page cos I don’t have my own blog, maybe I should start one…anyway, it is pretty awesome! So you want to make a coat? I think they are easy, when I made my Hikaru it was my first coat and I didn’t find it too hard, and the Stella pattern was easy too, if you get stuck I’ll be happy to help :) I want to make a trench coat for this winter, might try and find some fabric for it this weekend…let me know :)

  Hey Gil,

  Cllaudette is 9 months and I have a boy as well, 3 in March. I checked the ottobre magazine years ago, but not recently. Will do that when I’ve cleaned the toilets!
