Congratulations on the 17th entry into the contest....Fran Giacobbe - I'll email you to get your snail mail and send out the goodies.
And thanks to all of you for your great ideas and sign up for the newsletters. I'm really looking forward to this, and getting some useful info to you but most of all to encourage you all to sew!!!
Right now I'm finishing up my Chanel jacket (yes, miracles never cease) for my jacket class in February. It's coming along beautifully, but had to stop to work on a pair of killer gorgeous Italian 120 weight wool pants for a client. I had been doing so much hand work on the jacket, that I did all hand top stitching on the pants. This hand-stitching can be addictive!
What I kept thinking, while working ont he Chanel jacket, was how much Karl now brings in for a custom designed/sized jacket....which is what each and every one of the gals are doing over on the Chanel blog.
Well, I looked it up...off the rack (no sizing, custom or nothing) is $5,000....that's cheap. But the custom fitted jacket - is a cool $20,000! This is how much value each and every one of those jacket creators is creating.
Puts things in perspective!
