BeckyW said... Oh my goodness! That is adorable! I love it. It must have taken you forever to do all those details and topstitching, but it was so worth it. That is what is so wonderful about sewing to me. You can make unique and wonderful things that you could never buy anywhere. I love the little rose detail. 12/18/05 3:30 PM
Mrs. Trouble said... You know, it's about time you changed your PR sewing skills level to intermediate! !! What an adorable jacket! What great attention to detail. I LOVE it! 12/18/05 3:42 PM
CarolynGM said... That is just outrageously adorable. Every detail is perfect! For heaven's sakes, promote yourself! 12/18/05 3:57 PM
Nickle said... I can't even find the words, its wonderful. I saved it to hopefully make my great nephew one (half Lions colors and half packers), hope it turns out as beautiful as yous. 12/18/05 4:01 PM
Peggy L said... That's super cute! You are going to get "favorite auntie points" for all your creations this Christmas. 12/18/05 4:38 PM
Tailypo said... Great looking jacket! Oh, and Hook 'em Horns! (I got my MLIS at UT in '95!) 12/18/05 4:45 PM
Aixoise said... OK - I can't join in the football fervor, b ut I can join in Leslie's enthusiasm for this pattern. I made it for DGD in kid's size 7 in a heavy stretch twill butterfly print from Joann's. The flap pockets are real in this size. It does take time to put together, but is totally worth it. It's really fun to make and looks adorable on. 12/18/05 6:01 PM
Ingiepops said... Wow, this looks so professional, what a lucky niece to have such a talented aunty. And I agree with the others;I think you need to graduate up a level or two! 12/18/05 7:01 PM
Sew4Fun said... WOW! Fantastic jacket! Advanced beginner? Who are you trying to kid! :) 12/18/05 7:21 PM

ClaireC said... That is one gorgeous jacket! It looks very professional. The details are fantastic. I'm beginning to think you need to upgrade yourself to Intermediate sewer. I'll bet your niece will be cute as a button cheering on the Longhorns with the family. Wait until everyone sees that jacket on Christmas. Wow! 12/19/05 5:48 AM
Karla Kizer said... Are you still masquerading as a beginner? Time to get honest, Leslie! That jacket is fantastic. She'll look like a little you. 12/19/05 6:44 AM
Georgene said... Dang! That is cute as a bug's ear! Yes, do change your rating. No more false modesty. 12/19/05 6:57 AM
PhyllisC said... I agree - time for a rating upgrade girlfriend. And did you use buttons or studs? I can't quite tell and I love 'em. 12/19/05 7:07 AM
slanden99 said... Wow, that jacket looks great! I would have never guessed it was homemade. Excellent work. 12/19/05 9:02 AM
Debbie Cook said... Great jacket, and so adorable in that tiny size. Your details look fabulous and I definitely agree that it's long past time for you to upgrade your skill level. Heck, it was past time about 20 reviews ago at least. 12/19/05 10:02 AM
milwaukee_kelly said... Leslie I scared my cat when I gasped at how adorable this was! The time spent on the details... what a very thoughtful gift. You really should be movin' yourself up to that intermediate category asap. 12/19/05 1:55 PM
Hilary said... OMGOSH Leslie this is SOOOOO cute!!! Ok you're making me feel *really* guilty! I *have* kids AND this pattern, and still haven't made it. And DD really needs a new coat :oP Ok Ok I have to make this soon! Thanks for the inspiration! You did a fabulous job, as usual! 12/19/05 4:47 PM

AnneM said... What an adorable jacket. I'd missed this review initially. I saw the fabric and thought "Wow, more burnt orange corduroy!" Your DN will look adorable while watching the game (and any other time she wears this). 12/23/05 3:08 PM
JDpenelope said... OMG, you've done it again. 12/24/05 7:53 AM
Gigi Louis said... OMG, how cute! She's going to look tooooo adorable. I dare not let DH see this as he'll want one of his own. 12/24/05 2:45 PM
PVA said... Leslie, you go to the head of the line for the Premier Christmas Gift Giver! This outfit is toooooooo darling -- I'll bet anything she will be a show-stopper! 12/28/05 2:45 PM
Mary Stiefer said... You have so much patience. Both the jeans and the jacket are fabulous, even though you spent so much time on the details. Love them. 12/28/05 6:12 PM
