Danvillegirl said... Interesting fabric. Looks good, like the back pleat! 1/25/07 5:31 AM
JDpenelope said... All of your custom touches make this jacket a winner. It turned out beautifully in that fabric. Maybe a steel blue top, as you suggest, would be the ticket to set off your lovely outfit. 1/25/07 7:06 AM
Peggy L said... Patti - this looks greatI had not thought of making this in a sheer.! Beautiful fabric - I love the steel blue idea. I think in warm weather it would be pretty with a tank under it, too so the sleeve would be "see-through". 1/25/07 7:30 AM

carolynw said... It's beautiful Patti - thank you so much for this review. Bought this pattern and have taken it out - put it back without using so many times have lost count.
I love your treatment of it and I think this has certainly got me to the point of take out and use!! 1/25/07 5:53 PM
cecelia said... I really like this--the style, your back pleat, the colors, everything. I have this pattern and will use your review to help me make it! 1/26/07 6:44 AM
Ciclista said... Just gorgeous. I can't believe you used black fusible interfacing - incredible. I'll have to try some of PP's interfacings 1/26/07 9:42 PM
EleanorMcCarthy said... Your jacket looks lovely, excellent work. Thanks for the great review, especially for the info on the arm holes. I will keep that in mind when I try this out myself. 2/6/07 2:09 AM

Flybabylocker said... I found the arm holes to be too small, as well. I thought it was a "user error" being so new to sewing. If I made the next size up it would have been too large in every other area. Please tell me how you made the arm hole bigger. Thanks for the great review! 3/13/07 5:55 PM
