bunz said... Wowza! Terrific jacket. That technique is great, isn't it? 11/13/05 1:33 PM
PVA said... Thanks for this review, Peggy. Your jacket is beautiful! Like you, I really love the SNF technique for jackets & am planning to make another as soon as I finish the black pants I'm working on. Gotta get those done, need them really bad! 11/13/05 1:41 PM
Nickle said... Love the style of your jacket and the fabric. 11/13/05 2:13 PM
Patti B said... Lovely jacket and the inside looks great too. Congrats for the first review from this class -- is there a prize? ;-)
Hope to finish my SNF jacket soon! 11/13/05 2:36 PM
CarolynGM said... Thanks for your review of this jacket, Peggy. Sounds like I really need to find out more about the stitch and flip technique. Your jacket looks wonderful, inside and out. 11/13/05 4:19 PM
ktsews2 said... Peggy, I made the same jacket in Shannon's class. Your fabric is lovely and the technique is great! I haven'nt mastered the computer-photo thing so I can't post my picture. I need a class in that. LOL 11/13/05 4:37 PM
TarheelSewer said... Peggy, you did a great job with your jacket. Wasn't the class great? Based on your review, the Tuxedo Jacket is going to be my next snf jacket. Congratulations on a great jacket! 11/13/05 5:12 PM
Danvillegirl said... I am glad to see your jacket from SNF. I am still working on mine. Your jacket looks great. This jacket is my next planned one and I plan to use the SNF method as you did. Thanks for showing the binding. 11/13/05 5:22 PM
Kathy Sa said... Simple but elegant jacket. It is going to look great for many different kinds of occasions. I have been considering this one; I may have to give in. 11/13/05 5:48 PM
Peggy L said... Thanks everyone. Yes, I loved this class. I should have explained SNF - it is a method of lining a jacket as you go rather than inserting a whole separate lining. Lots of us just finished a class Shannon Gifford taught. I'm waiting to see all the other jackets! 11/13/05 6:07 PM

PegL said... Your jacket is gorgeous! I'm convinced! I have to take Shannon's jacket class....as soon as I complete her muslin fit class! First things first! 11/13/05 8:39 PM
Lalena said... Peggy: Your jacket looks lovely. I took the snf class too, but have a few more steps to finish. I was planning to use the Tuxedo jacket for my next project, so I enjoyed your review. I too like LH patterns, but hate unlined jackets, so snf is a great solution. When you say you added to the collar, you mean width, right? 11/14/05 7:05 AM
SuzanM said... Beautiful jacket. I was in the class too and just finished my jacket (review to be posted soon). Just looked at your other reviews - you have some lovely fabrics in your stash. 11/14/05 8:33 AM
Moxie said... Very nice jacket. I like how you did the lining and bound the edges. It looks very professional. 11/14/05 9:45 AM
Glenda of CO said... Cute jacket. But what is FBA? 11/14/05 11:10 AM
Peggy L said... Lalana - I added to the width of the collar. When you get your pattern, you will see the part that folds down behind your neck is very narrow. I used one of the thicker fabrics listed is why I added to it.
Glenda - FBA is 'full bust adjustment". This pattern is drafted for a "B" and I am a D.
Thanks for the nice comments! This was a fun jacket to make. 11/14/05 12:10 PM
sprKathleen said... Peggy, congratulations on a beautiful job! I loved the snf class, too. Hope to post my review soon (got to finish sewing first). The beautiful photos make me want to try this pattern with snf. 11/14/05 6:45 PM
Karla Kizer said... Peggy, I love your jacket - very Chico's (my shorthand for wearable, attractive, practical but elegant.) The fabric is really great. 11/15/05 7:12 PM
Liane M said... Peggy.. Love the review and your jacket. I bought this fabric yesterday at Textile Fabrics. I have wanted it every since I first read your review. How did you pretreat the fabric? I'm making Louise Cutting's By Popular Demand and hope to wash it. 1/22/06 1:21 PM
