Gorgeous jacket - well done for completing it. I admire your pluck. 3/14/10 8:40 PM

Coastal Connie said... Looks like an adorable jacket. I love the edges around the jacket and on the sleeves. I have a similar jacket that I bought in Nashville and I get all kinds of compliments on it...I'm sure that you will, too. I'd love to be able to say that I had made it, even if it took 5 months to do... 3/14/10 9:37 PM

Heidi Ho said... Your jacket turned out fantastic! The sleeve cuffs look like an intentionally added detail. I saw that jacket in Burda and fell in love with it but decided from the get go it was way out of my league. I am very impressed with both your skill and stamina. You must not live to far from me, it is suppose to be warm here tomorrow too. 3/15/10 0:53 AM
