Karen6790 said... This UFO is currently hovering in my sewing room. I had some of the same issues with it that you did, and I like my methods of construction better than theirs. Seeing your result will make me finish my jacket, whether or not I make another one remains to be seen. Congrats on finishing a UFO! 8/8/09 11:50 PM

fuzzygalore said... Thick knit jackets like that are so comfortable, and look so much sharper than a hoodie :-).
However it looks to me like you should have done an FBA - the horizontal flaps you had to omit could only work if the seam was below the bust, not right at it. 8/10/09 10:16 AM

Lee Ann Hawkins said... Hi Nancy, thanks for excellent review. I am wondering why a knit is needed? What do you think of using a lightweight supple wool tweed? It doesn't seem from the pattern a stretch is needed. . .thanks for your thoughts! 8/12/09 1:39 AM
katie lynne said... This is so sharp-looking on you! Great job. I'm wondering too, if a fairly supple wool/blend could work. Hmmm...the descriptors (little stretch, stable, firm...knits) do indicate that they might work as well. Okay, you've gone and done it--I'm adding this to my wish list! 8/12/09 6:23 PM
twinkle72 said... Hi Nancy,
I came to look at your version of the RBCJ. It looks great. I wish I had read your review about double knit before I chose my fabric and got started. It was a little tricky for me! 10/21/09 5:40 PM
