LauraTS said... This shape looks great on you; very pretty. 1/20/07 4:36 PM
Linda G said... It does not look cheap in the pictures. 1/20/07 5:10 PM
Re Becca said... I don't think that it looks cheap either. From here it just looks like you got a good deal on a nice jacket. I think that the sewn buttonholes look fine as well. The fabric lays well and apears to have pressed well. 1/20/07 5:24 PM
Jacqui315 said... I have been looking at this pattern. I like it a lot - it has a flattering style. 1/20/07 5:34 PM
onewhosows said... The jacket is lovely and you look great in it. You've done a nice job! You know, other people hardly ever see the "flaws" we see in our sewing. Most people wouldn't even look twice at a buttonhole, for instance. (By the way, yours look just fine from where I'm sitting) 1/20/07 5:45 PM
HawkeMorningStar7 said... Very chic, nice all around. 1/20/07 6:25 PM

Karla Kizer said... I think it looks great - and that McCalls would be wise to substitute your version for theirs on the pattern envelope. Good job! 1/20/07 8:12 PM
Helen near Sydney said... Dr. Alice, you must be thrilled with your jacket, it looks absolutely beautiful and the fabric not at all 'cheap'. I think some hand stitching around the collar, the way you see in high-end menswear would also look good. 1/21/07 1:01 AM
tweedcurtain said... I agree wtih Karla - yours is MUCH nicer than the pattern envelope. Well done! 1/21/07 1:34 AM
Patzee said... I think you have progressed beyond beginner. I know this because I am a beginner! 1/21/07 1:40 AM
quiltsammon said... Beautiful!! Good job! 1/21/07 1:54 AM
Nancywin said... Very nice,and does not look cheap in the pics. I think I see what you're talking about in the collar though. Sometimes using a higher end interfacing CAN make a "cheap fabric look expensive" ;-) Nice review - and nice jacket! 1/21/07 2:31 AM
Tany said... I love it! Very well done on your second jacket! 1/21/07 4:46 AM
PixieCat said... Beautiful jacket and such a flattering style on you! Nice job. 1/21/07 5:46 AM
krystalkaes said... Nice jacket and beautiful smile. 1/21/07 8:25 AM
BeckyC said... Your jacket looks fabulous on you! You did a wonderful job! If you can bag a lining and realize you need extra length for movement, you'll be able to master bound buttonholes in a snap! Great review. 1/21/07 10:14 AM
nicegirl said... I really like that style! And the color! Good job. 1/22/07 4:46 PM
AnneM said... Great top, what a nice style. Good fabric is worth using (although your jacket certainly looks nice in the pictures). 1/28/07 8:24 PM
SewTwin said... You did great if this is only your 2nd jacket!The jacket looks better than most Nieman's I've seen.Probably fits better than RTW,too. I think you actually made inexpensive fabric look expensive.Isn't that what some designers do? 1/29/07 1:15 AM
Katharine in BXL said... That is one sharp jacket on you! I can't believe it's jacket #2. From here in Belgium I can't see the fabric is cheap (consolation?) 2/10/07 4:06 AM
