Cambric Tea said... That was a very instructive review, Kay Y, thank you so much!
I know that when the time comes for me to make a jacket I will remember your tip about the bias organza in the sleeves.
Your jacket is wonderful! 9/19/05 10:20 PM

Danvillegirl said... Your description of buying a pattern and realizing you liked the look in the catalogue but otherwise disappointed is rather true for a lot of patterns I buy. Your jacket is lovely and would display very well in a magazine. Excellent job, looks great. 9/20/05 4:13 AM

MarilynB said... What a lovely jacket. I also bought this pattern when it first came out because I had a fabric in my stash which was similar to the one used on the envelope. Thanks for all the warnings on this pattern. Also, thanks for the reminder about the sleeve tip from Karmeng. 9/20/05 5:44 AM

hongkongshopper said... Great review! I was wondering about the one piece sleeve when I looked at the pattern. Good idea to substitute. 9/21/05 0:43 AM
Georgene said... The 747 lapels are rather extreme on this pattern. Your version turned out nice in spite of that. I'd love to see a photo you in the ensemble when its done. 9/21/05 8:56 AM
LBJ said... the jacket and the top look so good together. I love the bias effect of the top. Very classy and very expensive looking! 9/25/05 5:16 PM
Lisa Laree said... Fabulous jacket! I have to admit that every time I look at that envelope I think "Stepford Wives" and just can't appreciate the jacket on it...yours is much more appealing! :D 9/25/05 7:20 PM

regine said... What a magnificent jacket, material, workmanship, style. You obviously put in a great deal of effort and it shows. 4/30/06 1:00 PM
Nerys said... I am worried about easing the sleeve into the armscye. There is over 3" of difference between them and that usually spells trouble. I was going to cut and slash some the ease out of the sleeve cap. I am now rethinking my plan based on your comment that the sleeves went in without a hitch. Gorgeous work, btw! 9/18/06 4:22 PM
