Johanna, I just bought this pattern and would love to see a photo of your jacket. I'm not clear if you are saying that this jacket does not run true to size or just that it has a lot of ease????

Baberuth, I would definitely check the pattern measurements - I think it's just that it has ease, but there's a lot of ease (the pattern measurements are on the pieces, I think). I can't find the battery charger for our digital camera, but when I do, I promise to post pictures!

Johanna, how did you finish the edges? I have this jacket cut on in a (slightly felted) wool/lycra jersey, which could have raw edges, but I have not had good luck trying to make a nice serged edge, which is what I'd planned to do. I need to mess around with that a little more, but wondered how you handled it.

Skymom, I used "Success yarn" in the serger loopers, with a 3-thread stitch, and it covers pretty well. I had used the same technique for capes last year, so had already established settings on my serger. Try some thick serger yarn- woolly nylon just isn't thick enough. What have you used?
