I look like I'm holding my breath. But I think I am just standing up straight after all the yoga I have been doing. I see the one sleeve looks like it needs some more pressing, alas. But I have to say, it fit well and the fabric is very light so it was very comfortable to wear and teach in (which involves a lot of arm waving for me). And because it is wool, it was warm and yet breathable. I wasn't actually sure if I was going to like it after I made it but now that I have worn it, I think it will get fairly frequent rotation.
In which I make some clothes, expound on the virtues of the flat fell seam finish, and proclaim "you CAN sew your own clothes, and even wear them in public".

The blue suit
I said I was going to wear it and I did. I asked Peter to take a picture of me just before I left for class:

You look fantastic in your suit
I love the style of the jacket.
I`m glad it was such a success - looks good.
Looks great, Julia! I'm im-pressed (a little pun on your sleeve comment :P)!
Nice!! Very professional looking.
Thanks all! I have just finished the placemats and napkins but have decided to add some extras to the gift as a package - a quilted tea cozy and quilted pot holders for the microwave. Stay tuned!
What a lovely suit. The colour is fantastic on you. Have to say I enjoy reading your blog. Makes me want to dust off my sewing machine :)
Looks great!
Of course, I'm sure I'd last about five minutes in something that sharp before spilling tea right down the front . . .
Thanks Carol. Glad to be inspirational. :)
India, you do yourself an injustice. But yes, this fabric would show the dirt, for sure.
