Caitycat said... Plaid looks AWESOME - but I agree - you were INSANE to attempt it! Great result, though! 11/4/08 9:47 PM
katlew03 said... Really like the front fasteners that you used in place of buttons. Love the colors in the plaid. 11/4/08 10:22 PM

DoggyGirl said... Ha! It may have been a pain in the !@! for several reasons, but you look GREAT in it! And your hubby did a fabulous job matching the plaid . This is so cute - wear it with pride. 11/4/08 10:51 PM

Lori V said... The capelet looks wonderful with the cowl. Tell your hubby great job on the plaid, how nice of him. 11/5/08 6:06 AM
emelle said... very cute.....I saw two pieces of this fabric left at Hoover Hancocks....but once I stretched it out on the cutting table and thought about that plaid....I got ahold of myself and put it back!....you did a great job though, and so did your DH (I would not let mine near any sewing project I had going!), ML 11/5/08 6:19 AM
Puppy said... I have to identify with Emelle...your husband and mine are two different kinds of guys....mine's definitely not into the perfection/refinement required for anything in the sewing room (or the kitchen, for that matter!). Really, really nice garment, in spite of the hassles. 11/5/08 8:53 AM
Leslie in Austin said... Cute!! Hubby did a fantastic job of matching the plaid. Is he for hire? ;-) 11/5/08 9:31 AM

RobinMCPA said... It looks great! Sorry about the crappy interfacing - that sounds like an especially horrific one. I've never attempted to match plaid before but I have some plaid knit fabric I was thinking of trying soon. Oh, and LOL on Tony helping you out on the plaid matching - totally sounds like something Jim would do too. He has a lot of patience for things like that. Those two are so similar! 11/5/08 10:54 AM

shesflipped said... I LOVE this! I love the plaid even though it was a pain. What a great hubby to match it for you! Looks great with the yellow cowl neck! 11/5/08 4:54 PM
Winifred said... I love this so much i'm going to make it too!! DH, well done, it puts it into high end RTW immediately. Takes a long time but so well worth it in the end. Even some expensive wear doesn't get it right always - I got a lovely pair of pants in a sale recently priced at £80 UK for £20 and the inseam plaid was a bit out!! Idont think it will show -might adjust it myself. Takes people like homesewers to get it right!!! 11/6/08 6:11 PM
LindsayT said... You are so stylish as always. All the fashion magazines are mad about plaid right now. Nice! 11/7/08 2:56 PM
