kkkkaty said... the fur trim looks very cool! Threads Magazine has a current article (March 2008) about cutting sleeves for tailored jackets on the bias; although the stripes on this fabric would be quite conspicuous, perhaps that would help in other cases... 2/14/08 11:50 AM
LindsayT said... Food for thought about the two-piece sleeve. Thanks! 2/14/08 12:08 PM
Re Becca said... I prefer two piece sleeves as well. I do hope that you get some enjoyment out of this though. The trim looks really nice. 2/14/08 12:21 PM
EleanorSews said... I'm sorry this did not work out well for you. You do have a point about a two-piece sleeve. Better quality RTW usually features that detail too. The jacket does look nice. Hopefully you will get some use from it. 2/14/08 12:39 PM
Kay Y said... Totally agree with your comments re 2 piece sleeves. However, I hope you wear it anyway since it looks great (any chance of a picture of you in it???) 2/14/08 4:56 PM
lilyofthevalley said... The thumbnail photo is a little small to see the entire jacket, but it sounds very smart and attractive. I like the faux fur trim, too. Thanks, Lily 2/14/08 5:18 PM

Margie T said... Is it only the sleeves you didn't like? Was there anything else wrong with the pattern. I liked your jacket. 2/15/08 2:58 AM
