sweet collection!
I felted the wool for some of these. On others it was to bulky to use with the zippers. I used in-the-hoop embroidery designs from 3 different designers. (More details available on request...)

Well-Suited

TA - DA!

I finally finished my second bag for the sew-along! 
I don't know which part of the process was worse:
  • walking around Goodwill (in Phoenix in the summer) with several pounds of wool suits on my arm
  • picking apart well-tailored jackets draped across my lap (in Phoenix in the summer)
  • manipulating pattern pieces to capture pockets & labels
  • stitching through multiple layers of wool suiting
But -- I do believe it was worth it! I will be making more. (I've got several pounds of suit fabric on my sewing room floor...)

Feast your eyes:
