  1. I am working on my very first blazer. It is unlined, as I would like to wear turtlenecks under it. I sewed the first sleeve inside out and on backwards (with Hong Kong bound seams, too), so had to also unpick all that work. I am inspired to make something in denim (perhaps a skirt or pinafore?), but also just got an overlocker for my 50th birthday, and would like to attempt some kind of sweater/cardigan now that it is cool again here in Italy! Thanks for your wonderful show! I only started listening recently, and am binge-listening to catch up 🙂 You are an inspiration.
