    If this jacket closes left over right which side does the buttons go on? I’m making it for a man it’s doing my head in trying to figure out if I should reverse this, as in its original pattern state and instructions it is for a woman’s jacket where the buttons are on the right hand side Im I correct ? lol

    This is advanced! I am excited to give it a go. I'm using a dry oilskin fabric -- I am assuming no interfacing and no tailor tacks. And I was thinking of using snaps (poppers) for my buttons but not sure if this would work with this button placket construction. Any insight would be helpful! Thanks.

    I bought the PDF version, mostly to read the instructions, but possibly to make my own when my current fails. Or in a totally non chore fabric. Thanks for this. The trick to a tutorial is to use contrasting fabrics to show the process and the finished fabric to show what it can look like. That way, you have useful instruction and aspirational content.

    I have made so many Florence's I no longer need the instructions. It is my favourite dress pattern to make ever. I find Liberty of London's Tana cotton lawn is a great pairing with the Florence. Thank you so much for a wonderful pattern. PS, the music is a bit loud though

    Oh, wow! I’m so glad to see the pictures in the book in motion! I’m very new to sewing and I just finished making myself a Heron Wrap Top. It is the second thing I have ever sewn and I was able to complete it successfully even without taking any sewing classes. Because of my lack of experience, I took a considerable amount of time to figure out some of the steps and I unpinned and redid a few minor mistakes. It took me three days from tracing to cutting to the final stitch. It looks and feels so nice on my body. I learned a lot about sewing and garment construction just from one pattern and making another Heron Top will be a breeze.
