wow! great use of the diagonal in the chenille you created. the line drawing looks boring compared to your final result.

What a great pattern for faux chenille - SOOOO pretty! Isn't it fun to do (well, for awhile anyway). My DMIL was offered $1000 for the faux chenille jacket I made her!

Okay, I am totally impressed!! I didn't know this process existed. Very interesting and what a beautiful jacket.

Jennifer, Love your jacket the material is wonderful I made this patternup last night so simple to sew I used light weight denim and a red material from my quilting stash looks great. I made the small reversible version. In my haste to get it finished I didn't try it on unfortunately it is a bit wide in back need ti take a .5" seam cnetre back I am loath to reverse stitch all the top stiching etc and fix it as it will probably take longer than it took to make the jacket. I will definately be making this jacket pattern again Skye

What an incredible amount of work this must have been! But look at the result! What a fantastic jacket! I had never heard of this technique before, thanks for the link!

Thanks so much for sharing this technique. The jacket looks great with that diagonal design!

Your jacket looks wonderful! The picture seems to pick up a shimmery quality in the fabric - does it have any irridescent threads? You've inspired me to try this pattern using an oriental brocade I've been dying to use.

Sorry Tracey, I must have deleted the notice of your comment. I just noticed it today (3/3).
I didn't use iridescent threads. However, the bottom layer is gold lame, which adds quite a bit of sparkle.

Jennifer - a very nice fall fabric. I am eyeing this pattern looking for a 1st easy jacket pattern - you've about sold me.

My sewing instructor made a faux chenille jacket (different pattern, though). (I had meant to comment on this when you first posted the review, and somehow it slipped by.) It really does look lovely, and she says it is very warm. Love your new safari version of this pattern also.
