You've done a great job. And the shoulder straps look better than the halter.

I wish I had your patience...

I like the skull button. It's really cute.

I was thinking of sewing a pouch for my phone these days and thought to use one very simplistic pattern. But after I saw your pattern I will definitely try to sew something similar.

Great instructions!

You have every reason to be proud of your noblewoman. She is soooo beautiful. And have a gorgeous hair style.

And the jacket is fantastic on its own.

I like the black and yellow clutches the most. The addition of the flowers make them look more formal in my opinion. I can just imagine a dress from the same fabrics. 

Congratulations on your first finished project! It looks super cute.

Great idea!

I'm sure your gifts would be the most original.

Thank you for the reply, Jenny.

I sewed a little today to see if the machine is running smoothly. Everything looked and felt fine, so I'll let the oiling for later.
 

The last time I used my sewing machine was maybe 6 months ago. I cleaned the dust out and oiled it, and haven't used it since then. And I wonder should I oil it now, before using it again, or the previous oiling is enough for now?

I'm afraid that too much machine oil would stain the fabric.
