Elona said... Sometimes working on a frustrating pattern spoils the process and maybe the pattern for future use, but gosh, the jacket is striking now and looks terrific on you. I can see it in linen... 3/1/09 2:04 AM
fuzzygalore said... It would look more 'constructed' if you'd used a fabric like the tweed or lightweight wool recommended. That is totally opposed to the nature of boiled wool though, so your jacket is slouchier. Fabric primes pattern, I think, in most cases. But your jacket still looks good, if different. 3/1/09 4:42 AM

JanJanB said... fuzzygalore-I never thought of that. I've seen jackets made out of this in the stores, but come to think of it, they were a single layer, including the lapel. 3/1/09 7:29 PM
Heidi Ho said... Beautiful jacket!! I love the button, it is perfect with the fabric. 3/1/09 8:44 PM
Secretsugar said... Well, however much trouble and time this project took, you ended up with a really striking jacket. It looks very well constructed, and the button is a perfect choice for this asymmetrical cut. Nice job! 3/1/09 9:16 PM
lamstu said... Your jacket looks smashing on you. I made this jacket years ago, before I knew about PR. I still wear it frequently, and I'm betting that you'll wear yours for years to come - a real classic. 3/2/09 3:40 AM
lilyofthevalley said... Jan, I too love your jacket and although the final result wasn't what you were expecting, I think it looks great on you and that you'll get lots of compliments. Very special button, too. Congrats on first review and I look forward to seeing many more of your creations. Lovely, Lily 3/2/09 2:47 PM
