onewhosows said... Wow! I think you matched the fronts perfectly - just HOW do you do that? 1/21/07 8:51 PM
CarolynGM said... Great job on your first coat. Everything looks just perfect -- the matching, the pockets, the fit. Very impressive. 1/21/07 9:00 PM
Nancywin said... I was really careful in trying to match the fabric, but had no idea if it would work. I made two copies of the front pattern piece and laid it out on a single layer of fabric. I had marked the center front line on the pattern and found recognizable shapes that I could place on that line. I moved over to the repeat on the other half of the fabric and placed the center line on the same shapes. It worked! 1/21/07 9:39 PM

Helen near Sydney said... Your coat is gorgeous, beautiful fabric and pattern matching. I wonder though whether the buttons could have been spaced to fit in with the pattern somehow? 1/22/07 6:03 AM
