I'm also loving this jacket, when I was at uni in the early 2000's my flatmate had a jacket like that and I was SO JEALOUS as I wanted one so bad (but it was 'on trend' at the time and I just didn't have the $) I should really MAKE one. I love your comments about "men sewing" shocking right? Rich loves cross-stitch and all kinds of other traditional "woman" crafts and whilst my crafty friends think its cool, I can see in other peoples eyes when I tell them that they think it weird - you know because men are only meant to like beer, cars and rugby...Treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319274204951528344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-74057204211977475932014-10-20T01:30:43.708+01:002014-10-20T01:30:43.708+01:00Yup.

Lovely lovely lovely! <br />And snaps for John donning up his own trousers! My dad actually taught me a bit of sewing and when he moved recently he sewed up some curtains. Being 1 of 5 boys you'd of think he'd learnt boy-ish things, but instead my nan was clever enough to teach all of them how do knit or sew. Its not really hard to do a straight stitch, but tailoring trousers is a different game. You both look smashing!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255354405253714311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-5805295804286947622014-10-18T21:16:30.292+01:002014-10-18T21:16:30.292+01:00You and Jon are so perfect.

It's going to look even better when you've added that hoop thingy. Oh my goodness, it's nearly Goa time. How exciting! So happy you did well in Nottingham, especially as it means now you'll be back!! I had some fab jewellery as a kid, but it all got taken in a burglary. You have the vest collection. Or best, even. I love the tutorial on skinny trousers. Takes me back to the age of about 14 when we used to do it. Good for Jon. I admire a man that just gets on with it.

You must have a whole room to keep all your clothes in, like a wardrobe room! ;-)<br />I see we have the same taste in jewellery. Indian silver is so 70's, but never dates. Looking at your bracelet with the orange cabochons, I actually think it's carnelian stones and not glass. :-)<br />The used to sell semi precious stones in a New Age shop a few years ago and recognise real stones now! The huge lapis and turqouise rings are stunning too!<br />Good job sewing those trousers, Jon!<br />You both have great style and it's good to visit your blog and see what you guys have been up too. Enjoy being on the road, I hope you sold lots in Nottingham and Stockport!<br />xx Jo Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365999873131320691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-31440840383369095122014-10-16T14:28:05.173+01:002014-10-16T14:28:05.173+01:00I can understand why you had to have this marvello...I can understand why you had to have this marvellous dress ,love the colours and the print.<br />Dear Vix thank you so much for your lovely words you left on the passing of my stepdad , I was very touched xxxat my dressingtablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021287105016867366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-67622114982711736102014-10-16T14:12:23.609+01:002014-10-16T14:12:23.609+01:00The print on that maxi is fantastic and attaching ...The print on that maxi is fantastic and attaching a perspex ring will look so cool!

I love it. There's a wall in town with similar flowers painted on it, which I always mean to take photos of, but it's located in an area that is more 'night time dinner and drinks' than 'daytime stroll', so the light has never been right when I've been there. How about this ... in that dream we have where you guys come to visit us here, you bring that dress and we'll go to the flower wall to take pictures?! :) <br /><br />Thanks for the how-to on Jon's pants ... he always looks so good in them. xoLoulouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304074858377805437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-28882636862727918562014-10-15T17:19:04.634+01:002014-10-15T17:19:04.634+01:00You're right forget necessity, with that being...You're right forget necessity, with that being said.
