I said to my friend, back in August 2016, let me know when you have finished with that jacket, I would like it. So she gave it to me.
I haven't worn it very often since then because I have other jackets, but it is coming in very useful in the high winds we are having at the moment. The only trouble is the furry hood is loose fitting and is either hanging down at the front over my eyes, or the wind is blowing into my face and pushing it backwards.
I gave the fur a haircut at the front and that has helped a bit. I have tried fastening the buttons and press studs right to the top, but it is too tight and half strangles me, and the hood is still loose. There must be an alteration I can do.
A strip of fabric and make two ties. Sew them onto the hood through buttons.
That's better. Now it fits snugly around my head.
Ready to do battle with the Arctic winds. Catch ya tomorrow. ilona
