said... Mini, thanks for an incredibly-detailed review! Your insights are very helpful and I look forward to adding this pattern to my stash... 11/6/02 5:35 PM
said... Mini, another wonderful review. I thoroughly enjoy reading your pattern reviews because you go into detail and they're very informative. Even though I've been sewing for 40+ years, I find that I learn something every time I read one of your reviews.

said... Mini, your reviews are so excellent. How neat to read a review in which the person has made up both the offered views! Thanks for all the great info. I like this pattern quite a lot. 11/6/02 5:42 PM
said... Oops, sorry, maybe I misunderstood. You made a shawl collar jacket similar to View A but you used a different pattern, and you made View B from this pattern. Sorry I wasn't paying better attention before I posted my earlier comment. :) 11/6/02 5:44 PM
said... Thank you for your wonderful, very thorough review, Mini! I have been eyeing this pattern and it is terrific to have your experience in making it. 11/6/02 5:53 PM
said... Excellent review. I love the detail you give. Your reviews are always helpful! 11/6/02 7:40 PM
said... what a thorough review! Mini, I can't wait for my pattern to arrive. And of course I'll wait until I buy my new serger to make it. I'll be sure to read your review again. The tip about sizing is valuable! 11/7/02 0:03 AM
said... Excellent review. However, I wanted to read your review of the other shawl collar jacket but could not find it when I clicked your name. I was looking for Favorite Things. Did I miss something? 11/7/02 9:59 AM
said... Gigi, I typed Favorite Things in the search box on the top right hand corner of this page and it worked. here's the review 11/7/02 10:14 AM
said... Thanks for this review Mini. I have this pattern and want to make it up in a polar fleece print using View B, love the collar as it is shown on the pattern jacket. I will use the braid on mine. I see you didn't model this jacket for your photos. I love seeing you model the garments, it is very helpful it see how the garment actually fits a real body. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Nancy in BC 11/7/02 4:09 PM

said... Nancy. I didn't have anyone to take a picture of me, but I will post one later. It definitely looks different on a person than on the hanger. 11/7/02 7:55 PM
said... Mini, it looks great and so comfortable. 11/8/02 0:45 AM
said... Mini, your new jacket is SO beautiful! I just love that color, and it looks so rich in both color and style. I bet that looks fabulous on you! 11/8/02 0:49 AM

Mbarkle said... Hi Mini,
I just made view B and I love it. What a great easy project. Just thought you might like to see the original designer jacket (made from wool).

I didn't have any fitting issues with it -- it has plenty of ease to go over winter clothing, but was a little big through the shoulders. Length was perfect. I made it in a double sided fleece which worked beautifully because the collar and cuffs were in contrast.
Whipped up another for my MIL in very short time.
