SillyValley said... I can't see the photos either. Also the button store is (I think) ascuteasabutton.com. If you go to cuteasabutton.com you'll find something completely different. 9/9/07 2:43 PM

busy bee said... Great jacket. I love how symmetrical the top of the front curves are. I could never do that! 9/9/07 6:08 PM
SillyValley said... annette the picture thing happened to me when I posted the PJ top review - whatever happened to the pictures, I don't think it was something you did. The jacket is gorgeous and I really like your fabric!! 9/9/07 6:18 PM
Heatherrique said... Annette, another masterpiece! I adore the silhouette and your wonderful work! 9/9/07 8:01 PM
hongkongshopper said... Great jacket and a fun review! 9/9/07 8:29 PM
Membear said... It looks great on you and I hate doing sleeves like that too I think that its is appropriate when putting the whole sleeve in by hand but otherwise no. 9/9/07 8:39 PM
Cheryl Reeves said... Great job. The jacket looks lovely on you. 9/9/07 10:42 PM
rivergum said... Fabulous jacket! I always love your jackets, they look so professional. Personally I think I'd muck up the round bits at the neck, but yours are perfect. 9/9/07 10:56 PM
AngieC said... Another beautiful designer jacket! Thank you for showing it on you... that always makes it so personal. 9/9/07 11:47 PM
Danvillegirl said... I like the jacket. Sometimes you have to look beyond what the models are wearing, which I need to do more of myself, as you can really miss a nice garment look. 9/10/07 5:18 AM
Sigrid. said... This is a wonderful jacket. Beautifully made and love your buttons. Thanks for a great review. And I now know what sort of fabric I want to use for my next jacket, which has also many seamlines. 9/10/07 5:24 AM
2BSewing said... Beautiful jacket! I love the fabric. Like you, I avoid dry cleaning and wash my fabrics. :) 9/10/07 7:29 AM
Fran G said... Great, detailed review, Annette..thanks! I always enjoy your reviews..your pattern choices and fabrics are wonderful. Your reviews are informative and fun to read. 9/10/07 7:31 AM
moss said... Annette, SUCH a gorgeous jacket! It looks fantastic on you and I love the buttons too! You did your usual excellent job and your review is full of information. It looks great!! 9/10/07 8:54 AM
Marji said... Very nice - I've been looking at that pattern and have been on the fence for the same reasons you were. Yours looks really nice. I don't understand the no-hem-facing on the sleeve, although I do hand sew in most of my sleeve linings at the armscye.
great review 9/10/07 9:24 AM

Erica B. said... I think your jacket turned out fabulous! I had never really paid much attention to this pattern, other than the cut of the pants, but yours really looks good! 9/10/07 11:45 AM
Grammy Gin said... Wow! what a wonderful & fun review. Your jacket is just beautiful. Great sewing - maybe I'll get that good if I live long enough. 9/10/07 11:56 AM
MichelleE said... Annette, you are right - the pattern picture on the envelope is not good. Glad you saw beyond it because the lines for the jacket are perfect for suede/faux suede and you made a beautiful jacket! Like the toothpaste touches as well :) 9/10/07 11:58 AM
quathy said... Wow, this is a really beautiful jacket! Thanks for detailing about the sleeve linings and sleeve heads - great info! 9/10/07 6:09 PM
Margaret said... Beautiful jacket! Those buttons and the edgestitching add a lot, I think. I completely agree about the line drawings. That bright white fabric in their photos really distracts from all the nice details. 9/13/07 0:02 AM
Rita123 said... Wow!! How absolutely stunning! I want one. . . :o)
