as I do have more there than I want to show off!! 1/1/08 10:32 AM
redhead said... Wow, that is so much nicer than the pattern illustration. Kwik Sew fools me again. I had never looked at this pattern. Thanks and great project! 1/1/08 10:52 AM
Shura said... I agree, your jacket is really stunning and I didn't see that in the pattern illustration. The collar and cuff contrast is great as is your choice of clasp...bravo! 1/1/08 11:10 AM
Lisa Merry said... Your version of the jacket is very beautiful and expensive-looking! 1/1/08 11:35 AM
cecelia said... Jane, this turned out so well and looks very nice on you--very slimming too--a winner. I love the colors on you. 1/1/08 12:15 PM
Irene Q said... I love what you did with this jacket! Much nicer, and more flattering, than the original version. Looking forward to the other versions, too! 1/1/08 12:40 PM
Kay Y said... Good call on the changes you made, esp. at the shoulder line. The result is perfect for you! 1/1/08 12:52 PM

rivergum said... That jacket looks spectacular on you. Nobody would ever guess that there are 'round bits' underneath at hip level. I love the colours and fabric too. 1/1/08 2:55 PM
Kiwi Girl said... Wow, a stunning jacket. I agree with everyone else that your jacket looks much nicer than those on the pattern envelope. Great Job 1/1/08 4:00 PM
sewbehind said... Very nice. I like the simple lines of this jacket. The collar is really attractive in a different colour. 1/1/08 5:45 PM

Annette1 said... SO pretty! I love your version, and I like the fit so much better than as illustrated on the pattern. Great idea, too, moving that seam up. I'm going to try that myself. 1/2/08 0:08 AM
Helen near Sydney said... I have earmarked your excellent review for future reference - we seem to have similar body shapes so you've pretty much made me my 'wearable muslin' with this pattern! 1/2/08 1:07 AM
nimble said... Spectacular Jacket!!! The neckline is so flattering and fabric and colors you used are perfection. Great tips on how you lowered the horizontal seam. I certainly can't see that you have a bad body part lol! 1/2/08 2:48 AM

Elemenopeo said... Looks great - good for you on the pocket from Threads. I always mean to make those type of things. 1/2/08 8:56 PM
Harriet Rogers said... Wow--you took the most ordinary looking patern and turned it into a fashionable, flattrering piece of clothing. Thanks for all the tips: wonderful looking on you. I, like another of the PR sewers, am putting this into my favorites. 1/3/08 4:14 PM
