zeoplum said... Wow. I totally love this jacket! The colors go together nicely. I am new at putting colors together so it was helpful to see this color combination. And the great pic out in the snow gives us the full effect! Thanks for sharing. :-) 11/25/05 7:02 AM

sewcrazy52 said... GOOD JOB!! I am sure you need a warm jacket in some parts of New York; some are just as cold as we are up IN THE NORTH!! 11/25/05 10:02 AM
PVA said... Thanks for this review -- I love your jacket! I'll have to try out this pattern. I also must have a go at some sweater-knit. That jacket looks so comfy cozy! 11/25/05 10:17 AM
2muchfabric said... I have this pattern marinating in my stash, and your fabulous review has inspired me to dredge it out, dust it off, & sew it up. Love your jacket,

Hilary said... I love your jacket!! The colors are beautiful and I like this much better with the added buttons. Great job on the pockets-your coat looks *so* much better than the pattern cover (or model garment for that matter!!) Thanks for the inspiration ( I love the stuff on your site-how do you find time to breathe with all those hobbies?! LOL amazing!!) 11/25/05 6:41 PM
