I finished the jacket today, so here are the photos of the outfit! You will have to forgive some of these shots, as I was working with Jr. Photographer #1, because Jr. Photographer #2 had already gone outside to play. (#2 usually does a better job than #1.)Just for fun, I pulled out the 50's red lizard shoes and the AB necklace to try with the suit:
I am very happy with the suit, although I need to go back and check the sleeve hems. I think the sleeves are wrinkling too much and I might have pulled the lining to tight when hemming. I owe a special thank you to Paco for the fabric! Thank you, Paco!
Tomorrow, back to the rabbits.
Parting Shot: More Socks. Well, give me a couple of months, and these will be socks. The yarn is Maizy in the color Hibicus by Crystal Palace Yarns. This is a nice sock yarn for people for whom wool and animal fibers are a no-no because it is made of 82% corn fiber and 18% nylon. I will be making the Maizy Lace socks. Stay tuned for progress on those.

You never cease to impress me! First yesterday's socks when I still chugging away on my silly scarf. And now, NOW you must taunt me with a fabulous suit in my all time favorite color, gorgeous RED. Sigh. Barcelona Beauty indeed!
That is perfect!
Corn fiber huh?
Which reminds me, what type of fiber is the suit made of? I just love the texture.
Great looking suit! Love the vintage look. Thank you for sharing the pics and your workmanship. Bravo!
Beautiful, Summerset. Photographer #1 couldn't go wrong with such a great subject to work with. I really like the fit of the jacket.
