Dee2 said... Really beautiful jacket, tailored in your usual impecable style. Love the top stitching & the buttons. Thanks for the info on the vegetable ivory (this is new to me) & the tutorial. 8/22/09 9:45 PM
Christas said... Wonderful jacket! Your buttons are so perfect with the fabric. The button holes may have given you fits, but the end result looks quite worth the trouble. I love it! 8/22/09 9:46 PM
Christas said... Hhhhmmmmmm..... so, how many machines DO you have? LOL! 8/22/09 9:48 PM

Karen6790 said... 1. Love the jacket. 2. Wonder why I haven't made it yet? 3. Yes, I've ripped out that many buttonholes. 4. You can't have too many machines. 5. My vintage Singer buttonholer is coming in the mail on Tuesday. 8/22/09 11:15 PM
Gold said... Great looking jacket! 8/22/09 11:15 PM
Mary Nanna said... wow - that is one seriously stylish jacket.... sigh, and perfectly constructed too. My Bernina is too smart to do proper buttonholes - I hear your pain - it's got this electronic eye that gets stuck on bulky fabrics and can't move. My cheap bottom of the range Janome does a better job ... 8/22/09 11:54 PM

Aixoise said... Splendid jacket. Thanks for the pocket flap tutorial. I'm with all who are constantly dismayed in Pfaff's buttonholes. Janome's my go-to buttonhole machine, with the Singer/Greist type as backup. Ripping out buttonholes isn't exactly a hobby, but I've had plenty of practice. I always enjoy your reviews. 8/23/09 1:08 PM

Mahler said... I want one like that with the silk lining. I love your buttons so much. The guy we visit on St-Hubert had so nut buttons I think. Geniously done as usual. Thank you for the tutorial.

MBPaz said... Looks fabulous - buttoned up to the top would be too severe. So, as is often the case, your solution to a 'mistake' improved the garment. 8/26/09 8:18 AM
MAD14kt said... I love your jacket. Brown is a hard color for me to find where I live. It's one of my colors in the fall/winter ;D 8/26/09 2:08 PM
Catbird said... Sorry to be so late in leaving a comment on this wonderful jacket. Your style sense and fabric/notions choices, not to mention your exquisite workmanship, are such an inspiration to me. I love those buttons! And thank you for the great tutorial. This is a crisp, classic, urban jacket. Looking forward to the skirt! 8/29/09 11:02 AM
