Very nice jacket and excellent review. I love what you did with the pattern to "feminize" it. I like view A too. Would be lovely in a MM fleece.

That is so flattering, and so cute! I'm so happy you showed this to us as I have this pattern but haven't made it yet. Guess what I'll be doing to it!

Wow fantastic jacket! It would be perfect for mountain biking. I can't tell the difference between your jacket and Shebeest's, although I'm sure yours fits better. :)

What a great cycling top! I love how you really feminized it and added the essential back zip pocket. By coincidence, guess what I've been working on this week...yep, a Shebeest knockoff! Hope mine turns out as fantastic as yours did.

What a cute top. I think you bested the beest.

Very nice!

Instead of spending all that money for the top, now you have a great pattern that you can use for multiple tops. Came out great.

Fantastic! I would love to see you put more info in about how you modified the curved pieces in front. It looks great!

Great looking top.

Yours looks much nicer than the retail one in every respect. I bet you will get lots of use of out this top and your fellow bikers will want to know where you got it.

That's a great sporty top along with a great review to go with it!

Nice top.

Great looking jacket and such a helpful review. I enjoy the creative flexibility of Kwik Sew patterns, even if the originals drawings don't always inspire me. Another reason to keep an inspiration file for RTW knock offs.

Thanks for the great review on bike wear. Your top is better than the catalog version. I rode bike; so look for inspiration on P.R. for bike clothes. Thanks Michelle...great work!

That is a beatiful top! My DS is a biker but it rarely gets cold enough here (south TX) for that! You did a beautiful job copying the inspiration top!

Gorgeous jacket - I'm just pulling out this pattern to make up a fleece for skiing & I love the modifications you made especially along the shoulder line! Thanks, Sue
