ryansmumAria said... Ann,
You are just the most amazing designer/seamstress. I always enjoy looking at your brilliant clothes. I think you look best in the fitted ones but they are all wonderful! You are very accomplished. 4/11/06 8:11 PM
CarolynGM said... Great jacket, and it goes so well with the interesting skirt. Thanks for the details on your techniques. I've never been tempted by a Sewing Workshop pattern until I saw this one! 4/11/06 8:44 PM
Vonnevo said... Beautiful Ann :) The pinked edges are very effective. I wonder if pinking would be suitable on the heavier weight, double sided fleece? Winter is just around the corner her in Oz. 4/11/06 8:53 PM
PhyllisC said... Another stunner Ann! Love those boots too - I think I have the same ones. 4/11/06 9:50 PM

Liana said... Really darling, especially your pinking. You look great, as always! 4/12/06 2:45 AM
fuzzygalore said... Vovenno - yes of course you can pink fllece, even the 300 Polartec tank-weight. You can also use pinking shears, as long as you're used to them and can be sure to put the next stroke's teeth exactly in the last one's, if that makes any sense, so there's continuity. Of course those os uf addicted to the serger may have lost some dexterity there :-)..
Great coat Anne, very inspiring. And boiled wool is such a perfect CA coat fabric. 4/12/06 3:39 AM

Collette McManus said... Ann, I admire your skills as a seamstress and designer, your taste in fabric and patterns, and your productivity! I also envy your closet. This review makes me want this jacket pattern. I do have a question...what pattern is that wonderful skirt? 4/19/06 5:45 PM
yarnivore said... Ooh, I bought this very same boiled wool, and have been waffling on what to sew up out of it. I'm thrilled to have a couple of good ideas now! Your choices are excellent uses of the fabric -- so creative, and so attractive on you! 4/20/06 4:34 AM
Ann Smith said... Thank you everyone. It is so nice to get feedback. Collette, the skirt is Vogue 7880, see my review. It is a wonderful skirt although a bit more complex than most. 4/20/06 11:17 AM
