Hi there, this is Anne from Germany. First of all, thank you Reza and Mowgli, for your amazing work! It is really exactly what I needed. I am an enthusiastic hobbyist in regard to all things clothing: tailoring, knitting, embroidery... . I needed a really good tailor's ham since I want to make a Caban Jacket. Well, I had so much fun, I made five 😂 I am using the Valentina Software (similar to seamly2D) for constructing the patterns based on my own measurements.

The fabric is probably not the best choice, as it is white and will stain easily, but I like to use what I have, and I really used up every little bit.

The blob on the left is for blocking hats and caps. The one in the front has a pocket to put your hand in.

Best, Anne

My first lined jacket, not perfect by any means but a great deal better that would have been without these great tutorials.

Overall, there's something very satisfying in building your own tools.

It came as a surprise to me, how physical the process is -- especially stuffing the ham. It fitted almost 4x1kg bags of saw dust in order to get dense enough. I believe this is the toughest part of building the ham.

Finished, not perfect... Ham no 2... coming soon too.
