Linda E. said... Marybeth, I have been watching Sew Much fun on a local station here And Lind Machee it fun to watch but you see that is encourages the sewers creativlity I have a couple of her patterns haven't got around to trying them. Linda has a fun bubbly personality. You did a great job on the coat I like it very much. Your DH looks great in it. 3/13/03 9:43 AM
MaryBeth said... Oh Linda: Thanks for reminding me! I forgot to tell you'll how much I enjoyed working with this company! Even tho I had to wait 3 weeks for the order due to inclement weather in Canada it was worth it. The staff is responsive and responsible, they seem like true hands-on sewists. I do thank them for all their efforts. 3/13/03 7:05 PM
sewbehind said... Mary Beth, wonderful review. I am reading all of these MacPhee pattern reviews with great interest. Would you care to share your source for fleece backed cordura? I have an aging border collie that would love a new coat this winter! (I live in Canada too!) 5/9/06 1:48 PM
MaryBeth said... Sewbehind, the cordura was a one-time purchase for fabricmartfabrics.com (I asked them) Linda MacPhee sells Kasha satin, which I used to line this coat, making it way too hot for most of our Tennessee weather. It's fleece backed and would make a great lining for a warm doggie coat (lucky dog!) 5/9/06 4:07 PM
sewbehind said... Thank you, Mary Beth. Will look for it. He is a lucky dog! Great review, by the way.
