A new review!

I've added a minor piece to the couture fashion gallery! I still have several more pieces waiting in the wings that need to be photographed which I will be adding later.

I have also created a page dedicated to showcasing my portraiture and illustration. The newest piece is a moody portrait with a 1920s film vibe.

I've added my CV (resume), translated into English. I'll have the French translation and possibly a Norwegian translation available soon.

Summary
I picked this retro styled wrap jacket pattern (designed by Gertie of Gertie's Blog for Better Sewing) at one of those fabric store pattern sales. My hoard of patterns is almost entirely composed of sale impulse buys. I don't sew from commercial patterns that often, which is... eh, I clearly have an impulse control problem. But, I'm glad I got this one. It is a beautifully crafted pattern in my opinion. My own result has a le smoking look to it due to my choice of fabrics, but I suppose I don't mind that. It's composed entirely of large fabric scraps from my stash, so my fabric choices were limited.
