This was a pair old, rusty, beat up ones I salvaged from
Goodwill, and they have a nice heft to them. Must have left
a good sized smear of cruddy rust? (Surely you didn't think
I would throw a pair of my *good* ones, did you?)

I get this mental image of something like a Quilt Block of the Month
Club, only it's a Perfectly Matched Seam of the Week club, and at teh
end of the year you have your whole dress put together. ROTFL

At present I am making a printed, medium weight silk jacket.
The print is a muted houndstooth (actually more like a Glen
Plaid, it looks a lot like:
http://www.fabrics.net/outlet/Detail.asp?ProductID=3764) of
navy and pale blue on a cream background.
The center fronts match, both horizontally and vertically.
The center back is on the identical part of the print as the
CF. The sleeves will match the horizontal stripes of the
fronts, and have the dominant stripe running down the outer
centers. The bits of fabric for the covered buttons were
cut from the exact part of the print where they will be sewn
to the left front. I may (or I may not if I run out of
time) add rounded patch pockets, which will exactly match
the placement on the lower fronts. Etc.....
Beverly, OC? (Looking around) who, ME???

A plan is beginning to form. When (and not if) I or one of you finally
meets Beverly in RL (real life), what we need to do is to stare at a
seam. When she asks what's wrong, we will say, "Nothing." But continue
to stare. If she asks again, we just shrug and say, "You did the best
you could." Before doing this, make a note of the closest exit, and
when she goes ballistic, take the exit quickly.
