snaffles said... Your jacket is beautiful. And I think you're right about the slimming effect. My eyes didn't even see the side panels at first glance. I like the length also. And I'd love to see the complete outfit. 8/21/06 10:58 PM
Lisa Laree said... Excellent idea for the side panels! That darker/lighter contrast really works here. Gorgeous fabric combos...thanks for sharing this! 8/21/06 11:24 PM
Debra H said... This jacket should be on the Sewing Workshop website in their gallery. Very lovely use of fabrics. 8/21/06 11:29 PM
Ann Smith said... Very cool. I love the fabrics and I agree that the eye is drawn in. I didn't even notice the outer contrast panels at first. 8/22/06 1:40 AM
Danvillegirl said... Paula, I think I met you at the ASG National Conference in DC. As soon as I saw this review and fabric, I realized I had seen it before, as I set next to you for breakfast and commented favorably on your outfit. I truly love the mix of fabric. I then went and bought the pattern that day. 8/22/06 5:33 AM
Lhan said... Looks great! I have dithered about getting this pattern, but you have me almost convinced. 8/22/06 5:34 AM
PaulaM said... Snaffles, the complete outfit is shown in the next picture beside the one posted with a link. However, the pants look a little strange on Wooden Wanda. DebraH, thanks for suggesting the pic being on SW's Web site. I'll send it to them. LindaL, yep, that was me at the ASG Convention. I don't know about you, but I had tons of fun at the convention! 8/22/06 8:07 AM
appleC said... Wow! I love the fabric combination. I just browsed your Yahoo album and think you are very good in coordinating colors and fabrics. That Wooden Wanda is so cute; is it cumtom made or can I buy something like that somewhere? Thanks. 8/22/06 8:26 AM

Harriet Rogers said... Super-great looking. I love what you've done with this pattern: I certainly agree that it is a slimming look the way you've put it together. Beautiful top. 8/23/06 10:43 AM
Leslie Bonner said... Wonderful choice of fabrics. Love that jacket! 8/23/06 3:54 PM
PaulaM said... AppleC, Wooden Wanda is one of two that were cut from a sheet of plywood. The person who owns her twin didn't need two, so she sold me Wanda. Unfortunately I don't have the pattern or the name of who made her. 8/24/06 7:44 AM
Modiste Madness said... This is the best one I have seen. The combination of fabrics, placement, and construction were perfect. 8/24/06 11:21 AM
