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

yorkshire lass 1/27/09Wow, 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.

RuthieK 1/27/09heh heh, I just got on with it. Will model soon promise :-)

Geordie Girl 1/27/09Nice jacket. Thanks for the idea with the sleeves, may try it mext time.

Ody 1/27/09From 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 1/28/09Looks 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 1/28/09I 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.

sewtime 1/28/09Cute,cute!!!

Vonnevo 1/28/09Ruthie, you are looking so fabulous in this lovely outfit. The turquoise colour suits you very well :)
* * *
Sherril Miller 1/28/09Ruthie, you look so long and lean in your turquoise suit. But are you leaning, or is my world tilting?
* * *
RuthieK 1/28/09Sherril, 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 1/28/09Ruthie, 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 1/28/09Even 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 1/28/09This color and style look very nice on you. I would definitely give the pattern another shot.

Annette1 1/29/09Great 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)

yummymummy38 1/30/09I love this colour on you, Ruthie. You are looking v svelte, too.
