Christas said... Annette, I LOVE this on you! I totally agree about the collar; it does give this a very nice "jacket-y" look. The edge stitiching is an absolutely wonderful detail, and wow, what a beautiful fabric to showcase it on! You look MARVELOUS, my dear! 9/25/11 2:08 PM
carolynw said... I am going to disagree with you - it DOES NOT look like the pattern envelope lady - yours is WAY better in every way - I love it and the fabric you chose is just scrumptious (now how about that word eh?) I am going to get this pattern - I have had this lovely piece of corduroy laying around and never could find a pattern for it - this is it. Thaks Annette for another lovely review and you look beautidful on your way to Church - no sloppy posture that I can see!! 9/25/11 2:22 PM
Riesie said... Gorgeous! And just the perfect little jacket for fall. 9/25/11 2:50 PM
Catbird said... Wow! I'm always tempted by faux suede (this tofu-girl wouldn't be in the market for REAL suede:-)) but I tend to think it will be too difficult to sew and I never buy it. Yours looks fantastic! I love the top-stitching and agree that the fabric probably needs it for a crisper finish. It looks great on you. I don't see one iota of poor posture in that pretty pre-church photo, by the way! 9/25/11 3:42 PM
Karendee said... Excuse me, but where is that bad posture? You don't know the meaniing of stooped over shoulders. Just as well--because you look beautiful. The color, style, fabric, collar, button, the fact that the bolero closes ---every single feature is just great. That fabric does look rich and of so nice, and it will enhance so many outfits this fall. That little top will be a winner for sure. As for your appearance while heading off for church, you look fantastic. Lovely hair, gorgeous skin, great outfit and everything perfect. 9/25/11 4:36 PM
HeyJane said... This looks so beautiful. I love the edgestitching and the button! 9/25/11 5:45 PM
Re Becca said... Absolutely fabulous! That looks SO much better than that pattern! Your edgestitching and your fitting are utter perfection as is your posture. 9/25/11 8:03 PM
Terri A said... This looks great and that ADORABLE button!!! So cute:-) 9/25/11 8:05 PM
cleverkitty said... Really sharp little Jacket Annette, love the button. Great idea making one for you niece while she's pregnant, the idea of it stopping above the stomach is perfect. 9/25/11 10:52 PM
SewWil said... LOVE this!!! The fabric is perfect for this pattern. The edge stitching was a great idea. The jacket looks great on you. I had not noticed this pattern but now I need it. Posture? Not sure what you mean. 9/25/11 10:56 PM
Peggy L said... I love this - and I want one, too:) It looks great on you and I loved the added button. 9/26/11 7:00 AM
Barbara V said... How often do you get your teeth cleaned???? Well, what a good way to accumulate beautiful fabric! - and this fabric is certainly beautiful and perfect for the bolero that you expertly sewed. What a wonderful fall color too that will be versatile with many outfits. Clever girl, you! 9/26/11 11:08 AM
1SewSweet said... I love the way this fits you!!! Such a smart jacket, you could wear this with so many things! Nice selection of pattern and fabric! 9/27/11 5:54 AM
BexInMD said... You've made a very smart-looking jacket/bolero and given us a great review as always. I like your use of removable shoulder pads and also the turning opening in the lining back seam. 10/6/11 10:12 AM
FreyaStark said... Fabulous! A distinctive and stylish garment. 10/13/11 4:23 AM
