CarolynGM said... What an excellent, detailed review. I love the way you did the contrast topstitching and trim. The jacket looks great on you -- it is a very good length. 1/11/06 5:42 PM
drsue said... Well, its reassuring to know that I'm not just losing my mind regarding the drafting flaws I've found on these patterns. I think your top looks very good - - I like it better on you than on your form actually. Thank you so much for this very helpful review. 1/11/06 5:51 PM

MickeyFan said... I really like your jacket. I think it looks great on you. I am sorry you had to struggle so much - and not in a good "hey, I am learning something new type way". While I can live with mis-matched marks, I get very irritated by un-trued seams. It is an unnecessary drafting correction I shouldn't have to make. Very helpful review, thank you for taking time with it. 1/11/06 8:59 PM
HawkeMorningStar7 said... Your jacket is just lovely and looks great on you too BTW. I adore grey-pink combos. I also got stuck with my Mongolian jacket re how to finish-sew sleeve lining to jacket lining delema as my cuffs were done first too. Like the HongKong finish idea. Glad you perservered so next one will be "easy" :) 1/11/06 9:36 PM
Lori V said... I like your jacket on you and your dressform. The pink topstitching sets off the entire jacket. I am working on the Prim and Proper jacket, finding the sleeves very tight. 1/11/06 10:07 PM
Johsews said... You did a beautiful job, Julie, and I think you'll come to like this on you the more you wear it. Your workmanship is impeccable as alway! Say hi to the NoVA ASG group for me! Johanna 1/11/06 10:10 PM

MaryBeth said... This jacket begs for a form fitting skirt with a flippy hemline. I love the grey wool/hot pink combo, too. Nice job, it looks very professional. 1/12/06 6:03 AM
AnneM said... Great topstitching. It certainly doesn't look bad on you, although I know exactly what you mean about needing a garment with a defined waist. 1/12/06 6:55 AM
Linda F said... Your jacket is beautiful on you, you did a fantastic job . You did a great a job of overcoming all the obstacles too. 1/12/06 7:03 AM
