poppykettle said... You're totally right - this jacket pattern is FAB! Love the design lines. What a bummer to find out the hard way it was a petites pattern! I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished result though :) 8/13/12 7:16 PM

sewnaomi said... I love your jacket. I almost bought one at an 'uppity-up' store similar to this but with a shiny collar. I decided I couldn't afford it and walked away thinking of it. Your jacket look so dressy and such a nice fit. 8/22/12 9:51 AM
runlexlou said... Wow! Amazing fix. I think with all that tinkering with the pattern, you've definitely graduated from advanced beginner to intermediate sewer! It looks fantastic and I love the frog closure. Very classy looking. Well done. 8/22/12 11:08 AM
muttless said... Thank you, mhk3boys, sewnomi, and runlexlou! I just "upgraded" my sewing prowess to intermediate, thanks to your comment, runlexlou. :) 8/22/12 1:32 PM

nancy2001 said... Your jacket looks lovely. And what an incredible job you did to transform a petite pattern into one that fits you so well. 8/26/12 7:24 PM
muttless said... Gosh, thanks everyone! ;) 8/27/12 9:08 AM

grays08 said... This is really a pretty jacket - so great job! Also you are to be commended for being the first to post your jacket in the gallery - way to go! Great job with adjusting for the petite stuff as I know what this entails...been there with Burda before! 8/28/12 9:47 AM
muttless said... Thanks, Grays08! RE the date on my review...I actually *started* my review on 8/7/12 and saved it in draft form on PR. Somehow, though, it looks as if I finished the jacket on that day (which I certainly didn't!)....hahahaha! So you've also been caught off guard by Burda's buried "petite" label! I'm gonna try not to fall for that again. :) 8/29/12 4:44 PM
