MarilynB said... This jacket looks great on you. I really like the sleeve alteration technique, too. This is a great basic pattern. 3/4/08 2:16 PM
j222b said... Nice jacket & alterations, too. I like the blouse peaking out at neckline and sleeves. 3/4/08 6:00 PM
Nancywin said... Thanks for your picture of your sleeve alteration. I would have never thought of that. I have made this jacket and find that it is a great basic pattern with a lot of possibilities for design changes. I think the fabric you used looks great for this jacket. Nice job. 3/4/08 9:42 PM
eliz2 said... Cathy - great jacket and inspiring. I have wanted to try some Textile studio patterns but was also so worried at having to grade up . I also need FBA and rounded back adjustment. You've given me hope! We're about the same size and height, so I think I'll give it a go. Great job. It's looks good on you.

Tricia Plummer said... Cathy, thanks for the review. I really like your reviews and work and wondered where you've been, (unless, of course, I missed a review by mistake!)
I have this pattern and have put off making it but after reading your review and seeing the pic I'm going to pull it out and give it a try. Thanks again. 3/5/08 0:42 AM
Modiste Madness said... You look wonderful in you new suit. You always do such nice work and have a good eye for puttiing everything together. Interesting sleeve alteration. Do you have to make the armscye bigger also? 3/5/08 9:00 AM
GrammaSewn said... Like the look of this jacket very much, I also wondered how the armscye is handled. 3/5/08 1:55 PM

Sherril Miller said... Kathy, I love this outfit. You do such a great job on your fit. Thanks for sharing. I have to try out this pattern now. 3/5/08 5:38 PM
lilyofthevalley said... Your jacket (and with the skirt, your suit) is stunningly beautiful, Cathy. You've achieved a perfit fit in every aspect and your meticulousness has paid huge dividends. I've never seen a sleeve alteration such as you've shown, and hope you don't mind if I copy it for a dear friend's fit. You look gorgeous. -Lily 3/5/08 7:17 PM
Cathy Loves Fabric said... Thanks everybody for all the nice comments! This sleeve alteration came from one of our other friends on PR and if I could remember who it was I sure would give her credit. The armhole did get enlarged because I graded up the side seam substantially. I also added a little to the sleeve seam. To be sure they'll match, I always measure the armhole and the sleeve cap. 3/6/08 0:42 AM
Jane S said... OK, I have to say it...Kathy Loves Fabric and Jane loves this jacket on you. Great choice of fabric and pattern, fits wonderfully and such a useful review. 3/27/08 3:11 PM
selvage said... This outfit looks terrific on you, a very high-end, professional look. Great choice of fabric, and beautiful sewing! This is one of the few TS patterns I don't have; your review makes me think it would be well worth having! 4/4/08 1:12 AM
BeaJay said... I know that this is a long time after your reveiw - but this outfit looks great. I am new to sewing and going through PR to get ideas and information. Thanks for the review. I might try to get this pattern and see if I can grade it up as well. 12/16/11 3:22 AM
