That is just fabulous!!! I have been debating on getting this pattern since it first came out & now seeing how great yours is I might have to break down & get it! I also peaked at your SWAP & it is also wonderful! Good for you! I might actually get inspired to do a summer SWAP!

Really striking - the white trim looks so clean against the black, and the curves of the garment are just beautiful.

I love it! Also love the way you stage your photos - your inner stylist is truly at work here. This is a wonderful example of taking a pattern to a unique and personal level that is still the essence of fashion.

Excellent job, especially on the trim which kind of defeated me. I'll copy your idea of making it discontinuous - - looks fab!

It looks fab on you. Great job. You should upgrade your sewing rating to advanced. Your work is first rate. Glad to know that you can use a stretch woven for this jacket

You could make money helping women design SWAPs, including selecting fabrics, patterns and trims. Seriously. Charge a flat fee to do this and send a printout of what to buy from where and how much it will cost, with websites, contact info etc. you pull from your database. Then, they can buy it or make substitutions if they want and mainly do the sewing and fitting. To extend it, you could start a system of sewing salons with consultants who would help people get the fit right and get it done. But, the easiest thing would be the consultant part where you know some people will not follow through, but they have your product which is the plan and contact information and prices etc.

Just beautiful clothes. Very much my style. I went to look at the photos in your album, and you haven't don't reveiws on MOST of them! 'Course maybe that's why you've been so prolific at making them! Are you doing a SWAP this year also? I really should do this
