Double stitching, contrast facing and bias bound edge.

There's so much to say that I'm doing my report over the course of this week.  Here's the first part.  OK - I had a complete day of self indulgence on 14 May when I went to the Sew Weekly UK Swap/Meet in London.  It was so refreshing to abandon everything and just 'go' to something like this.  I'd made my outfit in preparation - a denim 'blazer' type jacket and a 50's inspired roses print dress.  Here's the jacket on it's own.  I made it at the time of the Royal Wedding and it has red, white and blue striped details in the sleeve lining and facing, as there was lots of this kind of 'stuff' around.
