Renata said... Best review I have read in years, can't stop laughing. But seriously, the jacket is not as bad as you make out and it did protect you in the rain recently. So learn to love it and it will love you back. It really is a great jacket on you. 6/20/12 1:31 AM

QuiltSewSewSue said... I love the colour and at least you ended up with a great raincoat (apart from the wet hands!) 6/20/12 1:45 AM
Sew4Fun said... I admire your perserverance in finishing this. Hopefully the magic wardrobe will do it's thing and you'll like it after some time apart. I think it looks nice in your photos. 6/20/12 1:52 AM

Anne Cherry said... HA! Success!!! For all that hassle, this looks great! Really like it on you! 6/20/12 4:21 AM
Cuffs said... For all that trouble, that sure is one lovely jacket! I bet you will forget the whole trying ordeal soon enough and enjoy all the compliments you'll be getting (and I bet they already started). I can't think of anything more cheerful in the rain than the sight of the lady in red! 6/20/12 5:24 AM
Sarsez said... Great colour - my favourite sort of red. Well done for finishing it and not dragging it out into the back yard and setting fire to it! 6/20/12 5:31 AM
margk said... Definitely worth it! Looks great. 6/20/12 5:57 AM
mssewcrazy said... Your jacket is really good looking-too bad it was such a pain to get to this point. I too think you will get a lot of admiration for this one. 6/20/12 7:11 AM
RadarRadiance said... I think it looks great on you, aren't you glad to finally have it done??? All your work but you have a fantastic jacket after all that ;-) 6/20/12 9:41 AM
portercs said... So sorry the pattern did not work well for you....but I love the jacket color! 6/20/12 6:37 PM
lynny said... Gorgeous jacket Alison, love the colour, fits you well. You need to put it in the magic wardrobe for a bit, all that hassle making it you just gotta get some wear out of it! 6/22/12 9:18 PM
greenandlilac said... Your last sentence made me laugh quite a bit! I am not a size 0 either. 10/9/12 1:28 PM
ClaireSky said... I am sorry you had so much trouble with this pattern. Besides the sizing, it looks beautiful! It's the nicest coat I have seen in this pattern yet. 10/19/12 10:59 AM
Pattycrafty said... I love the fabric!! I understand the cognitive dissonance with making something that everyone raves about -- and your experience is so different...been there done that, myself, and especially with an expensive pattern!! You conquered! 1/1/13 12:42 PM
