Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did. I think this denim friendly version looked more like the pattern envelope than the Lace version.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, very easy. I wrote a Picture Tutorial for my binding technique and a Picture Tutorial for matching pockets.

Renren said... Lovely--and I now understand what fussy cut means. Love that reverse binding finish you did with the ribbon from JAF. The hearts at CB seam are pure serendipity. I guess by rigid lace, it means there is no stretch. Do you happen to remember where you purchased the lace? Online, I'm hoping! Love it. 1/19/13 11:48 AM

sewingsilly said... Thank you All for the nice remarks! Renren: This lace was a sample cut from when I worked as a textile designer/drafter. I'm sorry I wouldn't know where to look to find it. 1/21/13 9:32 AM

msschiel said... This is gorgeous! I have this pattern, but can't figure out which material to use first. I would love to make one in Eyelet lace for Easter, hoping it is warm enough! 2/2/13 8:15 AM
Baja Susana said... Both jackets turned out very nicely. The lavender lace is my favorite, and your hearts in the back are adorable! 2/3/13 4:18 AM
