Sono stata alla Brioni dove ho visto fare un'asola lucida su un rever di uno smoking da sera. L'asolaia era bravissima, ma devo dire che l'asola lucida non è fatta con la tua tecnica, ma diversa. Praticamente viene fatta con un filo di seta più sottile e con la tecnica dell'asola normale, solo che essendo il filo più sottile e girando il lavoro all'interno si vede solo la vergolina con il suo filo intorno. Beh spero che riuscirete a capire quello che ho scritto. Un carissimo saluto a tutti e buon lavoro.

I have tried to sew pants with acceptable results but to sew a jacket I have not yet dared me to. Through your blog, I start getting some insight into how it works and I'm soon ready to try my hand at sewing my first jacket. Your analysis has made me realize that there are more than one way to perform the work. Your descriptions have also inspired me to raise the requirements for myself and a sub-goal is to make a well-made three-piece suit as a professional and demanding tailor would approve. I look forward to reading more of what you will write and tell on your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233561143856860698.post-17305500270643618732012-02-06T15:19:01.139-05:002012-02-06T15:19:01.139-05:00Jeffery,

There are plenty of instructions available all over the web, but like so many things, a buttonhole is 1% theory and 99% practice.<br /><br />Anonymous- that depends on where you live. It's not all that hard to find. Let me know where you are located and I can give you some sources.<br /><br />Charles-<br />Oxxford too. In fact, probably everybody does that, it just took me a while to figure it out.
