	lmg said... I think you have a great looking jacket there. Love the ribbon idea and the red snaps. 3/2/05 9:57 PM
	PVA said... I like your jacket & I especially appreciate the photos & construction details. I feel certain you'll enjoy wearing it. I do agree the style certainly seems just right for a knit. 3/2/05 10:39 PM
	gabrielle said... I would never have thought of that as a wovens pattern, either. That's a really sharp jacket; I think you made terrific design choices. I especially like that grosgrain trim. Glad to know a spool of thread and a hammer will do the trick for setting snaps, too. :) 3/2/05 11:15 PM
	Kathy Russell said... Wow I expected to read a review of success because that's what your end product looks like. Great color choices and changes. I love the snaps and grosgain ribbon. Very inspiring results. 3/3/05 0:47 AM

	Lisa Laree said... I've had a few surprises on patterns that I picked up on the basis of the photo/drawing w/o checking the fabric recommendations, too...both on garments that I thought should be knit and weren't and structured garments that looked designed for wovens but actually insisted on knits. Kinda makes you think 'What were these people thinking?" ;) You have a great looking jacket despite the misleading pattern! Great job! 3/3/05 7:59 AM
	MaryBeth said... Nice design details for sure!!! Brilliant additions! 3/3/05 8:26 AM
	Georgene said... Very nicely detailed. Good save...aren't you glad you didn't give up? You used your pattern as a springboard for your own idea, and adapted as you went along. It doesn't get better than that. 3/3/05 9:19 AM
	Sew it seams said... Thanks everyone for your positive comments. I do apologize for my atrocious spelling errors! I was interupted several times while trying to post this review and I neglected to check my spelling when I finished. Those of you with dislexia know what I mean when I say almost every word looks misspelled to me. :) I'm off to correct! 3/3/05 10:05 AM
	Lou. said... Oh wow I absolutely love your jacket, this is totally my kind of top and I would pay big bucks for something like it! 3/3/05 12:18 PM
