    Default Turtles everywhere!

    I have been working on this for months...I am a "follow the pattern" person and this required a little more creative piecing and then garment construction (the jacket is lined and the collar added) The original pattern had the Turtles and "stained glass" sewn onto a sweat shirt (no lining, no collar, turtle images supplied, suggested sizes for panels and layout). Anyhow, I'm glad its done and I can move onto something new!

    Very pretty and your modifications really add to the look. But I had to smile when you said you could now go on to other stuff - you mean you only work on 1 thing at a time? How do you do that?!?!?!
