My first finish was Vogue 8795, the Marcy Tilton short drapey jacket. I just knew when I saw this that a black ponte with Swarovski zipper would be perfect and as I had the aforementioned ponte in my stash, all I had to do was order the zipper. Incidentally, I got it at Zipperstop and their customer service was wonderful. If you add the zipper to your cart by itself, the shipping to Australia will be calculated at $44.95! However, I emailed them & asked if they could just manually do the order and send me a Paypal invoice for the total. No problem & it was done that very day! $5.95 shipping. Highly impressed.
Onto the pic.

I've also entered a contest on PR. The handbag one. Duh! I made Vogue 8439 using goat leather for the handles and ties. While it looks good in the photo, I will be taking it apart and giving it more structure. The interfacing I've used is just not firm enough and the leather straps & heavy hardware make it fall down in a heap. So I will need to fix that.

You will want to head off every weekend if these are any indication of results!!!! Excellent sewing...
Great jackets and love the zipper, pity the bag didn't work out as planned but you know how to fix so it will be a win.
