What was your inspiration?

I've had the pattern for a while it was time to make it.

What are you most proud of?

The piping and how the buttons look like they were made for this fabric.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Very easy, since sleeves are puffed up and are just caps - this is a very good place to start with setting in sleeves - latter move on to a full set in sleeve.

I only lined the sleeve cap, otherwise it would be messy, I serged the inner seams because I didn't want more bulk with lining.

What is the pattern for this one? It is grand! I love the piping. And the fabric is Asian and truly sets it off. Super!
