I finished my jacket last Sunday, and last night my husband provided the opportunity to wear it. We went to see the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House, which was absolutely fabulous!

\nOk, I know, I know. You don’t really care about the concert. You just want to see the jacket…

I’m pretty pleased with it! At interval we met some lovely ladies who oohed and aahed about my jacket. They asked where I got the fabric: Spotlight in Hobart – yes, really! <\/p>\n

One of them told me all about going to visit the exhibition at Rippon Lea in Victoria of the costumes from Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, set in the 1920s. She showed me photos on her phone and generally made me feel quite jealous. I had been aware that the exhibition was on, but knew that I would never get to it. It ends tomorrow (Sunday, 1st December), I believe, so if you’re close by, you could still make it to see it!<\/p>\n

My jacket very much enjoyed its trip to the Opera House. The orchestra was simply amazing. They received about 8 curtain calls, and played two encores. A wonderful evening, with fabulous music, great company, and a lovely jacket. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Thanks to Bel Page of CIAM Australia for teaching me the skills of pattern drafting, and answering my many questions while making this jacket. Thanks also to all the readers of my blog, and friends on Facebook for providing opinions and fastening ideas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
