toil and error

well the first toil was semi sucessful well all goos apart from the hoona and when i attaches the sleeves :S but the after a discussion with pat and jane we decided it looked better with short sleeves but i didnt wanna loose the cuff detailing i loved so we decided to instead of scrap it but add a long sleeved jersey t under which i thinks gonna be sick m8.we checked the pattern and adapted the 1st toil to make chnages 4 toil number 2 and that was alot more sucessful mainly due to the changes and change in fabric except i had a few lets call them pokey bits, but a fully working hood this tym lol. so me and jane addapted it again and i convinced her it still needs to be taken in and made more snug or budy huggin if u will so weve addapted the pattern again and gotta make the changes on the toil and hope its ready 4 thurs 4 the big review which i also gotta knocek up a t shirt 4 but hey that wont even take an hour lol ohh im excited t looks great i cant wait woop woop

bleedin-HOOD

k k k k k so the jacket pattern was completly rediculose and a rediculose pattern makes for rediculose sewing, but 1 soldgered on and prevailed and it works!!!! well kinda hood complete fail it looks like a giagantic collar but floopy. :( but all else worked out brilliantly gonna need to make a few tiny ajdjustments to the pattern to add to the body huggingness, but only like a cm or 2 here and ther and a undaer-arm dart, but hood needs to be completely changed but hey hey this is y we make toils loves it :D:D
