It's interesting that as a new viewer, you gave more of an insight, into the process of adding beads to these jackets, thank you for all your work, I appreciate it so much.

[@PerfectJacket]

That's awesome. Glad it was helpful! And, thank you. 🥰🧥🎨🌸

The fabric of the jacket is so gorgeous it almost seams like a shame to cover it with beads. Truly wonderful fabric, a beautiful jacket.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! 😊 Yes, tweeds are just the most gorgeous fabric. When I bead I get to stare at the tweeds for hours and hours. 🥰🎨🌸🧥💚

The little neon bows, OMG!!!! I can't! Loveeeeee!!!

[@PerfectJacket]

Aww, thanks! 🎀💚🎀💚

I'm just a minute in and I have to say, this is so fabulous, this is exactly the kind of content I'm looking for. Loving this.

[@PerfectJacket]

Awesome, thank you! 🥰🧥🎨

Thanks for your reflections and realness. Agreed, watching the gen o cide streamed on social media has been traumatic and disrupted the creativity process. Beautiful fabrics! Soothing video

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you so much for your comment. 🥰💚🧥🌹🎨

[@robyn3349]

Thank you, Fin! All the pretty tweeds!

[@PerfectJacket]

Thanks! 🥰🎨 I do love a tweed! 💚🌸💕

I’ve seen some beautiful Chanel buttons on Etsy these jackets would be as well made as Chanel. Stunning craftsmanship

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! 😊 ooh, I love those luxe buttons. They are just amazing! 🎨🥰🧥🧵

[@kyliewalker6647]

It is very distressing, I appreciate your concern and sensitivity. Sewing gives one time to be in deep thought. I feel the same about remote communities of Australia.

[@PerfectJacket]

It really is!

Loving the Tempest jacket, and let out a giggle when I see that the beading had been restarted. It is all progress. AmI seeing a swirl of brown and blue in the triangle? take time for yourself when you need, we'll be here when you post again,

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! 🥰🧥🌊 Yes, the teal and brown in the triangle is supposed to sort of look like a ship in a storm or seaweed in ocean waves.🐚🐠

Thanks for the recommendations for buying tweeds. I love looking at Linton tweeds website and have bought tweeds from them. They really are good quality. I’m still a newbie making Chanel type jackets so I like hearing what you recommend. The Tempest jacket is looking so beautiful! The beads in the triangle are so cute. Love the seashells and skulls. Happy sewing and beading! Thanks for sharing! 😀🧥📿🌊🎨🐚

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! 🥰 Yep, I love looking at the beautiful tweeds on Linton. There's always a few absolute gems! 🧥🌸🐚🎨

[@LuxDivas]

Lovely jackets! ❤❤

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! 🥰🧥🌸💚🌹

[@kyliewalker6647]

Same as handbags..

[@PerfectJacket]

I do love a tweed handbag. So fabulous! 👜💕

[@saundrayork767]

regarding the triangle: Have a friend put the jacket on and mark the boundaries while the jacket is on a human.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thanks.
