Nice - very nice. I really do have to try one of Loes Hinse's patterns - this could be the one.

Your jacket looks great! This pattern is perfect for a sweater knit. I made it in a very similar fabric and also interfaced the facings so that the buttons & button holes would have some support. The facings did seem to affect the drape of the front, but not so much as to ruin the jacket. I love the colors of your fabric!

Nancy, just beautiful. I agree that with this beautiful a fabric, 'less is more' in pattern construction-- clean, simple lines. Beautiful!

very pretty. Looks like a chenille yarn in that sweater knit. Thanks for the source, think I'll go have a look.

Another beauty. I have made this several times too and like the fit. Nancy did you use the longer length? I have only done the shorter length so far - not sure if yours is the longer or an in-between.

I made view A, the shorter version. I would like to lengthen it a bit next time, but not as much as view b

This is similar to Loes' Garbo pattern. When I was in her class, I made the Garbo and had a little gappage, as you did. She had me cut a piece of FO elastic down the middle line, one inch less than the "V" measurement, and stitch it along the edge, stretching slightly to fit the edge, just like a waistband, then turn and stitch down the edge as per the pattern instructions. That very delicate elastic kept the edge from gapping - a good technique for a generous (or not so generous) figure.

I love it. I love it. A perfect marriage of a gorgeous fabric and a simple pattern style.

Oooh, the fabric is such a perfect fit for the jacket. Thanks for sharing your review.

Awesome jacket! I saw this fabric on their website and it didn't initially catch my eye, but it looks terrific with your jacket. I have this pattern in my stash so I must might have to pull it out soon :) .

Nice jacket. I like the idea of using a sweater knit with this pattern.

That is beautiful. Great pattern to show off yourl ovely fabric. Good info on your interfacing experience as well.

WOW Jacket! Great fabric, and sewing..

The pattern and fabric are beautiful and you did a great job of putting them together. I'm still learning about the characteristics of various interfacings, so the comments in your review about LH not using it were interesting, but I wish you had given a bit more detail on your decision to use tricot and why sew-in interfacing would have given a better drape than fusible. I appreciate your mentioning the stay-stitching and needle size/type. Thanks.

Gorgeous jacket. I have this pattern too and I have a similar knit fabric :)

Love your jacket! I have the Garbo jacket pattern and it is very similar.

What an incredibly gorgeous knit!!

Fabulous jacket!

I purchased the red fabric for the same jacket and found your review very helpful. I just finished it a couple days ago. I used Emma Seabrooke's fusible knit interfacing on the 2 fronts. I also used some poly mesh between fabrics on the buttonholes. It pretty much looks like yours and I am very happy. Thanks for doing the groundwork!!
