This was a tough one. My client was a merchant sailor who was only in town for few days. The zipper on his favorite backpack broke. There was not time to shop for a zipper so I used something I had on my stash. It was superhard getting the zipper positioned and sewn because the fabric was very heavy,
But I did it and he sailed off with it.
My client had a 20+ year old silk shirt she got at Frederick and Nelson. She had me copy it in new silk, 3X. I made it to match exactly. It was a little tough because the new silk was a little stiffer than her 20 year old silk but they turned out beautifully.
My client wanted a version of this jacket but not the exact style. I made 3 versions, all a little different but specific to the style and function he wanted
