Thanks all.  ReedGuy, she help with telling me how to use her machine - I did all of the work including the hand sewing on the inside lining.

Sally, let me know the next time you are in North Florida. I refuse to fly since DHS and TSA made all of us citizens suspects and I can`t afford long driving trips anymore. If I get a chance to go to Scotland I will do what is required at the airports.

This is nice on a number of levels. I like that you were willing to learn to accomplish your goal. What a great partnership with your wife. It looks as if it was a lot of fun and the fine result speaks for itself. Congratulations!

@RepWeaver, yes - it was "new and different" starting it but became enjoyable finishing, somewhat the same way I had apprehension about making the kilt last year. I hope I can inspire others -  if I could do it, anyone with the same desire should be able to.

Notes

I still had a considerable quantity of 2 ply rayon that I bought from gailc, so I wanted to do another project. I got some more dye and colored up enough black, blue and green yardage to weave up a small bit. I still had lots of yellow left that I had used on the striped placemats. My wife had found this pattern on Ebay and it was time to make use of it. Only additional items to purchase was lining material, buttons, belt buckle, and iron on interfacing.
