| Renren | 1/24/09 | Looks very nice and it also appears to be the same color as your Endless Combinations wardrobe. Looking forward to watching it progress. |

| yorkshire lass | 1/27/09 | Wow, that was quick. We only discussed the buttons last night. It does look lovely though and I'm looking forward to seeing it on you at some point. |

| Ody | 1/27/09 | From your profile, Ruthie, turquoise looks to be a great color on you. I agree with your alterations for the next jacket in the hem lengths as in my experience, bagging the lining is a far more efficient method.
My last jacket I drafted a back facing and it did make it look a lot more professional. I made the back pleat in the lining for stretch room as well. Great ideas in this review. |

| Renren | 1/28/09 | Looks really nice on. Thanks for the heads-up on ways to improve the pattern, although this is definitely out of my league. But I bet I can use those directions for setting a sleeve! |

| nicegirl | 1/28/09 | I love this color on you! It looks great. I think this looks good as is, but I hope you can tweak it to your tastes. |

| Sherril Miller | 1/28/09 | Ruthie, you look so long and lean in your turquoise suit. But are you leaning, or is my world tilting? |

| RuthieK | 1/28/09 | Sherril, no you are quite right, I am leaning up against the corner of the wall. I took about 6 or 7 photos with flash and self timer, and in each of either my head, feet or more was chopped off. So this is the only one where I was far enough away from the camera.
Its cold and dark here and the fuse has blown on the lighting circuit so this was about all I could manage - maybe at the weekend I will try outside. |

| Karen8320 | 1/28/09 | Ruthie, it's a shame that you're not completely satisfied with this jacket because you honestly look fantastic in it! What a glorious colour and one that suits you so well! You really look a knock-out in it. Perhaps you could make adjustments to the pattern to make it fit you better and give it another shot. It would look fabulous in a pin stripe. |

| Em's Summer | 1/28/09 | Even if you're not totally satisfied, the jacket looks great! And I love your pantsuit--can't beat a great pantsuit! You look smashing in it! I think you picked a good style. If you're not 100 percent happy with it, think about altering it until you are because the style really looks good on you. |

| Christas | 1/28/09 | This color and style look very nice on you. I would definitely give the pattern another shot. |

| Annette1 | 1/29/09 | Great review, Ruthrie, and I think you look great in your jacket (especially in the vivid turquoise)! I made a lined jacket a while back that didn't have a back facing, and it bugged me too. :o) |
