ryan's mom said... Wow! A beautiful jacket and much better than the pattern photos too. Your jacket is so impressive, but those pattern photos are a snooze. Time for a photo swap on that pattern :) . 6/8/07 7:05 AM
cindyann said... Wow, I think it's wonderful. Love the color. 6/8/07 8:50 AM

moss said... Thanks so much for reviewing this! I have the pattern but I don't really want to sew it in fleece and I am not sure what else to sew it in (I don't have serger).. So it is nice to see ideas. :) 6/8/07 12:47 PM
Carolyndh said... Your jacket is beautiful! I love the details you added with the new collar shape and how you molded the fabric so-to-speak to take the curves of the flounce. The color of the fabric is beautiful as well. 6/8/07 1:42 PM
Nancywin said... WOW! Great looking jacket. It is so frustrating to have to make that many alterations. Also, I have found that with Simplicity, I'm often better off to go by my underbust measurement and the do the FBA. Thanks for the warning - but you got great results. 6/8/07 8:54 PM
2BSewing said... What a beautiful jacket. Love the color and the overlocking around the edge. Nice review. 6/8/07 9:08 PM
Jane S said... Wow, this jacket looks wonderful. Thanks for such a useful review. I've loved the lines and that flounce but I think I'm better off redrafting a TNT fited jacket pattern with these elemens than tackling this pattern after all. I admire our perserverance as well as that great result. 6/9/07 9:30 AM
Puddin Pop said... Your jacket is beauty, inside and out. Gorgeous. I love the collar. 6/10/07 5:21 PM
