Books, Patterns and a Happy Day

Thank you,  each and every one of you for your good wishes for my husband.  It has been a very stressful time for us and your kind words comforted me.  Today, his vision returned to normal--12 days after his stroke.  Like a miracle.  Suddenly.  I've been on an emotional roller-coaster and haven't accomplished much of anything today.  And I don't care.

Some of you are familiar with Nancy Erickson's Fashion Sewing Group.  I recognize a few names on Nancy's thread at Stitcher's Guild.  I became very interested in the discussion(s) on that forum, and a couple of weeks ago, purchased the jacket workbook,  and the 1945 jacket pattern.

I then ordered the other two jacket supplements, the newsletter, the book "Do You Love What You Sew", and the "Pants Conversion" leaflet.  They came in today's mail.

So, even though I'm late for the party, I got there!  I'm enjoying reading this material, and there is always something new to learn.  Her method is to work up a TNT and then "design it yourself" details.  I'd be happy to hear if you've made this jacket, or any of her patterns and your thoughts about them.

My Butterick jacket from the post below is finished.  Photos maybe tomorrow.
