GodsgirlT said... This is gorgeous! Good eye that you have to spot this jacket in the Collection. This looks fantastic on you.

When I get to it I am sure that I will refer to this great review! Thanks! This turned out spectacular! Great work! 8/8/11 8:27 AM
Karine said... Your suit looks fabulous on you! And those sleeves... Your review was really helpful, reading how you did the sleeves with the ribbon and also the collar. The thread bars were such a good idea. Love the edge/top stitching too! 8/8/11 9:33 AM

Dmd4106 said... great looking outfit.I too fell in luv with the sleeves. 6/12/12 7:19 AM
ocean girl said... Your jacket is beautiful, and did I mention I liked the sleeves. I also liked the fact that like many of us with 35+ or more years of sewing, that we often change the pattern instructions so that they lend for an easier construction. I was glad that you mentioned that you also took in the sleeves at the edge. As a woman of mixed sizes , I often find that the sleeves are very large on me and not tailored to my needs. The top stitching makes a fantastic finishing detail and thoroughly adds to the classy look of your garment. You ought to be very proud of your sewing talents with this jacket and skirt combo. 7/17/12 11:15 AM
