I've been sewing more and that enables me to stop thinking "I love this, if only it had/was". I think it is terrific, and your 20s sounds like loads of fun, but 50 is the new 20 so you go girl! I am in love with the doily and could so make a lovely Peter Pan collar out of it!<br />And I second te outfit request!

I had as much fun reading your post as the other ladies - great job on the jacket. <br /><br />I used to sew and 'tricked' out clothes too (loved the scrap bins at the sewing local store), then J.Crew did it for me for a few years, and now I'm going in the opposite direction and taking off embellishments.
