Customised Jacket
"This afternoon a package arrived from Scotland. Inside this package I discover two of the most whimsical, most marvelous and colorful and unique jackets ever seen on this earth.
I've been looking closely at the jackets and I just can't get over the fabrics. Wouldn't I love to have 15 minutes unsupervised in your fabric stash!
Your photos did not begin to do them justice - each bit and scrap of fabric is marvelous , compounded by how you put them together. And my husband, and my son think they are quite
fantastic. Happy all around!"India, Vermont USA

You interpreted my wishes and the jacket perfectly - the colours and style are just right. (Love all the compliments I'm getting too.) You're a true textile artist.Hilary, Inverness
