Thanks everyone. I'm getting a little better with each one. One day I might be truly happy with my own work

HDAD.. I love it! It really has become a new hobby. Doing these are relaxing, very low cost, and although very easy, challenging at the same time. I like finding jackets with different materials, cuts, number of buttons mainly to learn and see if they come out the way the started in my mind. Some of the ones I got don't even really fit me, so I can try and learn tailoring.

And if I had actually purchased these brand new, rehab wouldn't have crossed her mind. She would have simply put me in the morgue I think she's still getting a bit irritated with jackets laying around everywhere though! I'll have to start hiding new ones in the basement.
