Hi Jesse,

I'd love to make an offer for your idea. I've attached a few material examples that range between 1500 Kenya shillings and 4000 Kenya shillings, for you to choose from.Kindly let me know which one you like best.
Regards,
Nyambura.

Jesse 05 Aug 2019 9:47 am
Hello Nyambura,

thanks for your quick answer. I'd prefer the first or the last design, how much would I have to pay for the whole jacket on both options (including labour)? Do you eventually have another two or three design options that you could share with me?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jesse

Nyambura Irungu 06 Aug 2019 4:44 pm
Hi Jesse,
I found a few more fabrics. Kindly have a look and let me know what you like. I've also indicated the prices as all of them cost 1500/-
Jesse 08 Aug 2019 3:37 pm
Okay, I checked the fabrics. I prefer the very first design you sent me (the one with a purple and yellow stripe in the middle and green and purple triangles). I am okay with the price and I'm looking forward to receiving the jacket. I'll leave Kenya on August 23rd, so I will have to pick it up before that date.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jesse

Nyambura Irungu 09 Aug 2019 1:38 pm
Hi Jesse, that's an excellent choice. I'll get to working on it and have your jacket ready on the 17th.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Hi Jesse, I hope you've been well.
Please see the attached photo of both the fabric as picked today and the drafted pattern for the jacket, being the first step towards constructing it.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura

Jesse 15 Aug 2019 6:36 pm
Hi Nyambura,
Alright,
I look forward to seeing more.

Best,
Jesse.

Nyambura Irungu 15 Aug 2019 9:24 pm
Hi Jesse,

Here we are so far...
The first three, are photos of the jacket front, back and sleeves.
The fourth, shows the front and back pieces joined together.
The 5th and 6th photo are of the jacket back and front respectively.
The last photo shows how the jacket looks with the sleeves attached.

I begin the final steps of adding light jersey lining and black rib knit (the trim on the neck, hem and sleeves of the jacket) tomorrow and will update you by end of day.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Jesse 16 Aug 2019 7:48 pm
Hi Nyambura,
Just seen the photos. The jacket looks nice. Can't wait to see the final outcome

Best,
Jesse.

I've completed the jacket and here is a very short video of the work in progress, as well as photos of the finished jacket and a look at the inside.

Many Thanks,
