onewhosows said... Beautiful! The pattern adjusting knowledge you have acquired is undoubtably one reason this jacket is so becoming! 12/1/06 10:05 AM
pterion said... I love love love this jacket! The unusual fabric, the tweaking to get the perfect fit, the lining...it's perfect. Can't wait to see it in embroidered microsuede! 12/1/06 10:11 AM
Nickle said... Gorgeous jacket- looks great on you. I love the fabric. 12/1/06 10:14 AM
sewbehind said... Very nice jacket. The fabric looks very dressy on the picture.(I know you wanted casual) Was surprised to find out it was distressed denim. Cool jacket/cool fabric. 12/1/06 10:23 AM

mkhpaintsew said... Great jacket. It fits so nicely and the fabric is wonderful. 12/1/06 10:59 AM
Laurie Lou said... Hi Becky,
I saw the fabric at the expo and you did a beatiful jacket with it! Looks like ColdwaterCreek! Very professional. Excellent review. Thanks for taking the time to detail. I learned a lot from you. Could you tell me which sewing guild you belong to? I am from Bloomington and want to learn to sew like you! , Laurie 12/1/06 11:31 AM
Donna H said... WOW, your jacket looks great! When I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was a sweater knit type fabric. Denim!! Just fabulous. I want to sew as great as you do!!! Very very nice. Thanks for all the details. Your drafting and muslins paid off and encourge me to do the same. 12/1/06 11:43 AM
Pinkytoo said... I LOVE IT!! I'm now thinking of making one with a zip front, thanks for the review! 12/1/06 12:05 PM

Dale C said... What a great pattern for playing with. Simple, classic, and quick. I love the way yours came out and I'll look forward to seeing the changes you make to it. 12/1/06 1:32 PM
cecelia said... I really like the jacket--it fits you perfectly and sounds like a dream to wear--never would've guessed it's denim though. 12/1/06 1:48 PM
Carolyndh said... Like some others I thought the fabric was boucle or sweater knit! Denim looks fantastic this way! I love the effect you have created here. 12/1/06 1:48 PM
Vonnevo said... Becky, your prior preparation and planning really paid off with this beautiful, eye catching jacket. I too thought it was a knit or boucle, it's fabulous. Thank you for detailing your sewing journey, it will help anyone else immensely. 12/1/06 2:00 PM
touran said... I'd never have guessed that was a denim fabric. It looks textured and snuggly. The jacket looks great on you. 12/1/06 2:22 PM

EmmyNel said... It is a thrill to see my fellow ASG member and friend posting her great jacket on pattern review -- and I remember the gown the lining material made first. The fit is great -- can't wait to see it at neighborhood group. 12/1/06 3:06 PM
Sew4Fun said... What an unusual jacket and fabric. Great job. 12/1/06 5:10 PM

Debbie Cook said... Very cool fabric! I didn't realize it was denim until I read the review. Great jacket on you!! 12/1/06 6:12 PM
CarolynGM said... When I opened up your picture, after I admired the lovely jacket shape, I became intrigued with the fabric. I was so surprised when I read that it was denim! The way you frayed the collar edges is just wonderful. The extra pains you took on interfacing and lining and stabilizing really paid off in a lovely jacket. 12/1/06 8:19 PM
Sharon M said... Beautiful jacket! Very cool fabric and the collar treatment is fab. I thought I saw you at the Mpls expo. And darn...I can't believe I passed on buying some of this denim! 12/1/06 9:51 PM

Sharon M said... I *knew* I remembered seeing a review using this fabric from you. I just purchased something similar to this from Mill End Textiles in Crystal. I loved your jacket when I first read the review and when I saw that denim I quickly purchased some so I too could make a jacket. Boy, it sure is messy to work with! 9/24/07 2:28 PM
