First Tweed Conversion

[Elf]

This is my first attempt at cutting down a thrift store tweed.

Lessons learned:
1. The lining is the hardest part.
2. Will try Stitch Witch next time on the hem.
3. Pins are sharp. Brushing down a pinned area isn't smart.
4. Putting pins in the mouth for easy access is fine, but depending on which end goes in the mouth, either lips or fingers will get stabbed. Pick the poison.
5. Was $6.00 and 4 hours very well spent.

All very good lessons. I add to #4 the hazard of pulling out beard hairs along with the pin. I use my sleeve as a pin cushion for short term storage.

So good to make what one wants. Keep up the good work.
