jlg said... Very cute; much better looking than the envelope drawing. 11/13/03 10:51 AM
Gigi Louis said... Awesome jacket, Lou! 11/13/03 10:59 AM
Nikki said... Lou, it turned out great! Maybe you could use those big silk-wrapped hook and eyes (they are called fur hooks, I think) if you want an invisible front closure..... Will there be a hat and scarf next? 11/13/03 11:22 AM
AnneM said... Love the pattern, and it looks great in that fabric. Can I have you come over & help me sew my stash up? This didn't even have time to join your stash! ! ! I made a sweater our of a pink boucle type knit, & I am still plucking pink from things. 11/13/03 11:28 AM
Hilary said... Very cool, Lou! I love the fabric~so pretty! Maybe I will try this in a short jacket(if I'm feeling brave) or at least as an accent for a collar or cuff :o) thanks for the review! 11/13/03 11:28 AM
Skymom said... I love that jacket! My little daughter is so into animal prints these days--she calls the "stylish" rather than "pretty," which I think is sophisticated for a 3-year-old. 11/13/03 11:44 AM
Dale C said... I love it Lou! Great jacket, I really gotta make one too now. I wonder if it would be a practical thing to have here in Hawaii.... 11/13/03 11:48 AM
SouthernStitch said... Oh Lou, it came out so good!! I am really happy to see the "miscreant" pattern put to good use. You are so brave. 11/13/03 12:26 PM
Lou. said... I haven't got any of the fabric into a box yet! I'm buying the box tomorrow :-) I've also nearly finished a pink and black stripey sweater with matching scarf, it's very french. This new fabric is making me very brave, I've drafted a skirt myself (with Deepikas help), and the collar for my sweater! Reviews to come tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on the fur hooks Nikki! I'm not sure i can be brave enough for a hat, but a scarf sounds good. 11/13/03 12:46 PM
Deepika said... Oh My god!! I am drooling over this stuff. You are just too awesome Lou. Now you have to come to Boston wearing your new coat :) Can't wait to see the skirt and other creations. This is so great. I think at this rate it wont be long before you reach your 200th review ;-) Keep up the good work. Its inspiring! 11/13/03 1:12 PM

Ann B. said... Another amazing creation Lou! Your jacket is great, the fabric is super. Faux fur is great, warm, albeit messy, stuff. 11/13/03 5:37 PM

Mollykat said... Great jacket! I really like the way you placed the animal pattern. Is it lined? If so, what did you line it with? 11/14/03 8:50 AM
slee said... I love your jacket! It's so tres chic! How did you sew the seams? 11/14/03 10:40 AM

Leslie in Austin said... OH MY GAWD!!! This is beee-ooooo-tiful, Lou!! I need one. Would you whip one out for me, too? :-) And I swear I think we're soul sisters....I was just browsing through Kwik Sew looking for a short princess seamed zip up jacket pattern (for stretch fleece) and lo and behold, there you are posting it. Gracias! 11/14/03 2:55 PM
Lou. said... The jacket is unlined (see pattern description), and the seams are sewn with a straight stitch. I would have serged them but the fabric was so thick it scared me!! 11/14/03 4:42 PM
