Thank you for saying so :b

My OH gets mad at me cause i have no confidence in myself...i will ask for ages, what do you think, are they good enough, would anyone want them??? Dought dought dought ( i blame my mum )

So do you think they look good enough?

would you buy one set? (5 jackets)

How much should i charge??

They are made of cotten, but i could make in silk lining..

Tillys measurements are -

Base of neck to tail 21"

Round neck 13"

Round chest 23"

Round tummy 16"

(if this helps)

Well i dont really know much about racing jackets but from my eye they look like a very professional job you have done there, nice little business opportunity arrises there Kim, how about other types of jackets? Can you make them as well?

I think you've done real well
