I started cutting the cicero on the last day of our sewing weekend in the beginning of last year (which is more than one year ago!). Then I started other projects as our girl requested dresses. During the summer I started sewing the Cicero together but I did not have the right color zipper. So again the project stagnated and it took me again some time before it was finished. Finall...
