The challenges of sewing

I have been working on two jackets.  One is has a build up collar and the other is part of a Chanel sew along.  I have learned that PMB 4 and PMB 5 are not the same for me.  The neck on PMB 5 was way to large for my neck.  The opening of the build up collar required some modification but it is now wearable. 

My Chanel sew along has presented with some interesting challenges.  I am using a boucle of unknown fabric content.  I originally thought it was wool and Cashmere but as I have watch it grow I believe it might be alpaca or Llama.  I have spent the evening do as Tim Gunn would says:  "Make it work."]
