This looks really cute. Love your profile pic - isn't that the Coca-cola girl????

Thank you for posting your review! I'm glad it went together so easy for you and you're pleased with the results. That pattern is sitting in my "to do" pile along with a cute home dec print from Joanns. I need to get motivated to work on it, thanks for the inspiration - enjoy your new jacket!!! :-)

Great-looking jacket!

Nice work. I have this pattern in my 'to do' pile. Thanks for the review. Is the home dec fabric itchy at all? I was looking at some for this jacket, but just wasn't sure. My neck tends to be sensitive sometimes.

Mary Steifer: I don't think it's the Coca Cola girl. In the larger version of this picture, she's wearing an apron and writing a grocery list. (A familiar pose in my life, I might add.)

Ronda65: No, the fabric isn't itchy. It's sort of like a light weight canvas. It's 100 percent cotton.

Your jacket is lovely. Great review. I was wondering about the home dec fabrics for a tailored fit item.

Very pretty jacket. I love the fabric you chose. I also looked at your other photos - nice work! And your shashiko (sp?) jacket is TDF.

Cathy45: I don't know how home dec fabric would work for a tailored fit item. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by tailored fit. If you were doing real tailoring, I think you'd need to be sure it could be molded and shaped with steam. Most home dec fabrics, other than upholstery fabrics, are synthetics or cotton, which I'm not sure would tailor well. There's a wonderful article in a Threads magazine about using home dec for garments (my inspiration). Can't remember which one, but the online index would tell you.

I missed this review the first time. I just went through your album and this was my favorite. Thanks for the review.

Great looking jacket - have the pattern and it is a TNT for me and am sure it is going to be for you too. Also love the cowl neck top - must get that pattern!! My sleeves were too long so I eventually (after a lot of thinking plus much griping to myself) took them out and re-cut - not a nice job but worth it in the long run

I missed this review the first time around. Love both jackets but especially this latest - the red looks great on you!

Very nice combination with your Loes Hinse cowl top! Love it! You look great!

Both jackets are very pretty. I think McCalls has good jean jacket patterns--at least they've worked for me too. They are very flattering!

I'm so glad that people find these reviews that are a bit older, sometimes one just haven't got time to go thru every single new one, every single day. I like this one better prolly because of the color, it looks very nice on you, we apples have quite a restricted sortment of styles that look good on us so it's good when some nicely fitting patterns find their way to our collections. I've cut one for myself from Patrones but have I had time to make it? no, there's always something to be done for DD and don't get me wrong I'm not complaining:-) Marita

Love that color on you - your jacket turned out great!
12/6/07 9:47 AM
This looks great -- you look great! :)

Love this new one - it looks great on you.

Ooo, I love both of your jackets. I may have to pick up this pattern (if I can CRAM it in the sewing room, that is).

Fantastic color on you! Groovy jacket!
