michellep74 said... I agree--the facings on this one were ridiculously bulky. I'm planning to make up the other sweatshirt/jacket out of this issue this winter, and I may follow your lead to find a workaround for the overzealous facingness with that one. 12/1/08 10:53 PM
cabinbaby said... Wow, that is a lot of facings. Thanks for the review on this! 12/1/08 11:11 PM

Fran G said... This looks wonderful, Kay! Actually, it looks perfect! Great solution to the extra bulky facings. Thanks for the review. I am too selfish with my time to sew anything for my husband but I love to sew for my daughter!!! 12/2/08 7:28 AM
marjenann said... Wow, Kay! That is one awesome jacket! Great tip on the facings!!! 12/2/08 7:48 AM
Johanna Lu said... The jacket looks great and thank you for the great review. I plan to make this for my BF in the future, and your advice on eliminating the bulky facings was very helpful. I think this is a pretty common fault with Burda, they love adding huge facings to their their stuff. 12/2/08 8:07 AM
Mahler said... Oh la la, sounds like I would get mixed up assembling this ! The result is excellent though. All those facings gave you trouble but the final results is nice and sleek inside and outside. 12/2/08 10:33 AM
kellyt said... WOW! That is a very stylish looking hoodie! I love the detailing on this, it really takes the hoodie concept up a notch! Your tips are great too. Thanks for the review. Sew on! 12/2/08 12:07 PM
Christas said... Wow! You did a great job on this ... looks so nice! 12/2/08 5:49 PM
MichelleE said... Your result looks great!! I think all the facings would be uncomfortable to wear, which defeats the purpose of a sweatshirt! Great workaround! Why does BWOF tend to complicate things, anyway? I mean seriously, who wants that much facing in a hoodie?!? 12/2/08 9:23 PM
Seaspur said... What a fabulous looking hoodie!. Do you thing it would be possible to do away with the facings altogether? 12/7/08 3:40 PM

crisford said... I was about to go to work on this jacket! Thanks for the tips on all those facings! I think the main problem with facings is when you put the garment on, you then have to spend some time tucking the facings in place. Guys do not do that--half the time, they forget to check their collars. But you did very nice work on this. Your jacket looks beautiful. 12/8/08 11:40 AM
Re Becca said... That looks so warm! He looks so thrilled to be wearing it! 12/8/08 11:34 PM
