Frogstitcher said... Lovely. I agree with your thoughts on lining - less creasing, easier to slide on and off and clean finished inside. Enjoy your jacket. 3/15/07 6:58 PM
jewelea said... A handsome jacket and a thoughtful review. I have both the pattern and fabric designated for it; I intend to add a lining also. 3/15/07 7:13 PM

carolynw said... Your jacket is really lovely - have read a lot of pros and cons about this pattern. Your jacket makes me feel I should definitely give it a try. Beautiful job and very informative review. 3/15/07 10:38 PM
Ann Smith said... Lovely jacket Kelly. I'm sure it looks great on you. Does it go with your hat? 3/16/07 2:17 AM
cecelia said... A very pretty, classy jacket. Thanks for re-emphasizing interfacing behind the buttonholes, and I agree with you about lining jackets! 3/16/07 9:40 AM
Kelly D. said... Ann, I haven't tried the jacket and hat on together yet, believe it or not, since I bought the fabric especially to go with the hat. Maybe I'm afraid... 3/16/07 10:45 AM
Ody said... Great review and lovely jacket. I love how the buttons go with the fabric and make such a suptle statement without over powering the jacket. I love the color. 3/16/07 4:07 PM
Annette1 said... What a great jacket! I agree completely about the lining/interfacing, too. Used to be, I wouldn't even buy a jacket pattern if it wasn't lined. I will buy them now, but then I make a lining anyway, 9 times out of 10. I think there should be some kind of law where they HAVE to provide a lining pattern, then if we don't want to use it, we don't have to -- ha! :o) 3/16/07 9:59 PM
Kelly D. said... I'm with you Annette, because I don't like making my own lining pattern, even though it's not difficult. I want them to do it for me if I'm paying for the pattern! 3/17/07 12:02 PM
