MeganJ said... Your finished coat looks really good, I think your added touches help with trasforming it to more of a "street" look than the outdoorsy Green Pepper look. Plus, as I'm from Eugene, I love to see people reviewing the GP patterns!! 6/17/07 1:24 PM
fuzzygalore said... Looks very good. And you're right, there's no point in a zipper guard whose main function is to enhance waterproofness if you're doing it out of cotton :-). 6/17/07 1:29 PM

AnneM said... Great jacket. I bet your DH is very happy with it. 6/21/07 6:10 AM
Johanna Lu said... Yes, he is super happy! Actually his supremely joyous reaction when I presented him the finished jacket made it worth all the effort!
I have always been rather selfish with my sewing time, but now I feel really inspired to make more things for him (I have also done a hooded sweatshirt jacket for him that I adapted from a ladies Burda pattern, that I need to review some day). Menswear is fun too! 6/21/07 9:55 AM

calzone said... The jacket looks very well-made. I want to make Green Pepper cargo shorts for my husband. I'm looking for positive (or negative) reviews of Green Pepper patterns, since I've never sewn w/ them before. I am pleased to learn of your jacket results! 10/5/07 11:25 AM
