KarmenG said... Oh that is just lovely! I LOVE it! And Houndstooth is so "In" this season. I am seeing it everywhere in the stores. That is a stunning coat and now I want to make one. Thanks for the inspiration! 10/28/07 7:42 PM
LauraTS said... I love your version of this - normally MT patterns are a bit too 'arty' for me, but this is a great use of it with a great fabric. 10/28/07 7:55 PM
CarolynGM said... I love it! I want one too! Great way to hide the collar seam. 10/28/07 8:00 PM
svenskaflicka said... Nice fabric choice for this pattern. 10/28/07 8:05 PM
Sharon M said... That is lovely! I really like it made out of this fabric. 10/28/07 8:25 PM
Kay Y said... I think the binding is an improvement over the original instructions - it makes this jacket! Love it! 10/28/07 8:58 PM
Mahler said... Congratulations clin ! What a beautiful version of this pattern you did. It is an excellent idea to use biais tape to finish the garment. Bravo vraiment ! 10/28/07 9:25 PM
SillyValley said... I like the binding too - it sets off the houndstooth and makes your casual and unconstructed jacket look really sharp! 10/28/07 9:37 PM
Birgitte said... That's just one gorgeous jacket!! 10/28/07 10:05 PM
Annette1 said... Hey, I just recently bought this pattern, so what a timely review. :o) GREAT idea with the silk dupioni binding. I wouldn't have thought of that. I too have a love of coat fabrics -- and have the coats and jackets to prove it. This turned out GREAT. I can imagine how it feels on, too. I can't wait to see your Marfy coat. :o) 10/28/07 10:07 PM
Babs42 said... Wow! What a great coat, and you finished it beautifully! Enjoy it! 10/29/07 7:20 AM
marjenann said... Absolutely stunning! I must have one!
Canadian ladies have great taste! 10/29/07 8:16 AM
VtMartha said... Thanks for your review - it's a great inspiration. I have the fabric and I have the pattern but I had not thought of combining the two. Brilliant! 10/29/07 8:23 AM
utz said... Thanks for this review, beautiful result. I have this pattern but I was puzzled about what fabric to use since I didn't want to felt wool, and had no source for loden wool. I'm glad to see a lovely soft wool can be used to beautiful effect - the binding does the trick! 10/29/07 8:38 AM
2BSewing said... Beautiful! Love the black and white fabric. Enjoy wearing it. 10/29/07 8:43 AM
Nancy K said... Love the binding on your coat. Opens up a whole range of other fabrics to use. Enjoy, a lovely coat and it's nice to have a quick coat project. 10/29/07 9:40 AM

Leslie Bonner said... Great jacket. I wouldn't have thought to use a woven for this pattern but you came up with the solution in binding the edges. 11/1/07 8:16 PM
