I am very fond of pink, but it makes me look a little boiled if I wear it on the outside - that used-to-be-a-redhead skin :(.

The first time I sewed with velour I learned a lot about it as well - especially important to press on a towel and clip seams every inch to prevent puckers. Unfortunately I found out about the last one after I had finished it and it was too late - but a good press put paid to the worst of them. The colour and style is very fetching on you, well done for giving it a second crack, and congratulations for succeeding with such temperamental fabric.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-42927692025654615882011-01-31T03:14:05.708+10:002011-01-31T03:14:05.708+10:00Never mind about my earlier comment.

Seeing them was sort of a lightbulb moment for me, as I always feel that my un-shoulder-padded jackets need something there.
