Sammie said... You look great in your vest! I bought some of the faux sherpa at Hancocks, too - to make the new hat pattern from Kwik Sew for my grandsons. I've put off making it because I was a bit leary of sewing on this fabric so I was very glad to read your review! 11/21/03 12:22 PM
Dale C said... Wow what cool fabric! I've never seen the faux sherpa available anywhere. Will have to see if it's online. Your vest looks great! 11/21/03 12:27 PM
cindyann said... Great looking vest. I said "cool!" when I first saw your pic. I think it looks very nice on you. 11/21/03 12:34 PM
Janet D said... Very cool vest. I'm leaving for Hancocks right now. It looks worth the 45 minute drive to get there! 11/21/03 12:35 PM
CatherineN said... Interesting and attractive vest! You're brave to try a new fabric and method of seaming. 11/21/03 1:44 PM
Gloria Allender said... Mary, very nice job. I have hesitated sewing with this because I thought it would be hard. Thanks for your comments on how simple it was. I may get some and make something for DGS for Christmas. 11/21/03 2:03 PM
Mbarkle said... Thanks, everyone. This fabric is so easy to sew (but not easy to frog). Also meant to say that it's a great project for someone without a serger -- you only need a sewing machine. 11/22/03 9:04 AM
Tini said... I really like to look of the vest. Great done and the review is great too! 11/22/03 3:07 PM
