Tany, I have read lots of your reviews and this coat is the best of the best! Are you sure your profile should not read advanced??

It really is the most amazing creation & the information you put on the blog is priceless.
2/21/07 9:52 AM
WOW!
2/21/07 9:54 AM
How can you say you are just intermediate. I think you are very advanced. How meticulous you are on every step. You could be an author or a sewing book, if you wanted. What beautiful top stitching and how I would love to be able to make such a beautiful coat. It is gorgeous.

Cool
2/21/07 2:32 PM
Your coat is a tour de force - just beautiful and so well executed. I have been reading your blog too and will go back later when I have more time to admire the great pictures there of all your steps. Someday maybe I will try hand-top-stitching, and if so will be sure to look again at yours. (I agree with the others - if only based on this project you should promote yourself to *advanced*.)
2/21/07 2:35 PM
Wow that coat looks chic. Great job.
2/21/07 2:36 PM
You go girl!!!, that coat is amazing, just awesome.

2/21/07 3:29 PM
Totally fabulous coat. So nicely done. Tres Chic !!
2/21/07 3:56 PM
OMG - THE COAT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING (and yes I am shouting!). Love the hand topstitching. I would love to try that. I already have a black bag and shoes with white stitching.........
2/21/07 5:36 PM
Tany..I am so inspired by you..I can't wait to sew jackets..
2/21/07 6:59 PM
VERY IMPRESSIVE. Thanks for the photos. I enjoyed seeing the detail instructions. I admire you skills. what books you have used to learn the techniques you have displayed?
2/21/07 9:15 PM
congratulaitons on making such a beautiful coat. Just looking at your pattern alteratins impressed me. I hope you enjoy wearing this coat.
2/21/07 10:15 PM
A coat worthy of a runway! Just stunning. Thanks for all the detailed notes and wonderful review.
2/21/07 10:16 PM
Oh my heavens, that coat is just the most stunning thing I have seen in ages. Absolutely amazing work, extremely helpful comments on the construction. You definitely should be ranked as advanced IMHO. Thank you for a wonderful review. I sat at work with my mouth open in amazement at the level of skill displayed. You should enter this in the Threads Readers Wardrobe, I am certain they would publish it, its just gorgeous.

My thanks to all of you, you are very kind! About promoting myself to advanced: I won't do that yet and I'll explain why: I sew only to myself! I've never fitted someone with severe fit issues! I admire those dressmakers who are able to do fit miracles and I've never proven myself in that way... Also there are so many techniques yet to try! Charlene: I started to sew when I was very young and I've learned some techniques (cutting, thread basting, grading seams, pressing) from a neighbour dressmaker. I started sewing BWOF patterns and I bought their sewing book (Portuguese edition) as soon as it came out (there is a new recent edition); I took the drawings seen at my blog from that book and also the welt pocket with flap technique (I own many sewing books, some of them are American and I couldn't find that particular technique in any of them - single welt pocket with flap). I've learned patternmaking skills through the years (I'm no expert but I can manage) and I also own many books on that subject; I refer often to the site http://vintagesewing.info/ where you can find free online vintage sewing books. I like the "Modern Pattern Design" by Harriet Pepin the best. Recently I purchased some more American Sewing books and I like "Couture Sewing Techniques" by Roberta Carr very much (see my blog entry about sewing books; the other two books listed there are also very interesting).

THis coat is amazing. I have been following your progress on your blog. Thanks for the details and the pictures.
2/22/07 7:01 AM
Beautiful work and documentation, Tany!
2/22/07 7:35 AM
Unbelievable. Great coat, great review. Excuse me while I modify my profile to change myself to "Beginner" (capital B).
2/22/07 8:06 AM
This pattern is spectacular, and you did a fantastic job! I think I'm going to have to hunt down this pattern. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
2/22/07 2:05 PM
I'm in awe. Do you have any tips to share on keeping the handstitching to even?
2/22/07 3:12 PM
Wow! That is some gorgeous coat. I can't believe you're identifying yourself as an intermediate sewer. This definitely puts you in the advanced group.
2/22/07 3:59 PM
Wow! What a great looking coat. You did a fantastic job. I found your review and your blog very informative. Thankyou
2/22/07 5:04 PM
Really impressive. The fit and detail are wonderful. You definitely should move yourself up to advanced.
2/22/07 5:41 PM
Skymom: I did most topstitching free handed, being very careful and doing it slow to be perfect. On the front edges I wanted to reduce bulk so I tried to topstitch first by machine with black thread and then using the stitches as a guide; it worked fine and the black topstitching doesn't show at all!
2/23/07 3:50 AM
Wow, Tany...this coat blows me away. Your workmanship is amazing, your descriptions are so complete and helpful. But mostly, the outcome is a showstopper. Which leads me to my question...how can I , an American GET THIS PATTERN??? I love what you have made.
2/23/07 2:29 PM
Markie: I couldn't get the pattern either! I used another pattern and altered it! I guess you can use any side panel coat pattern to do the same! Click on the second link on the Pattern Description above to see how I did this
2/23/07 5:09 PM
A Magnificient coat Tany :)) I have been following the progress on your blog. Your dedication and time has been well worth it. Congratulations and thanks for a wonderful review :)
2/23/07 10:27 PM
just can repeat what i said in your blog: stunning, amazing, adorable!
3/2/07 4:42 PM
Tany, your blog is excellent. I have saved it as one of my Internet Explorer favourites, and will refer to it whenever I'm making a lined coat. You really should write a book! Sunny_D
9/14/07 5:31 PM
Thank you Sunny_D! If the information I provide is helping others, this makes me very happy!
9/15/07 5:16 AM
