Your review is very detailed. I like the seams on your jacket-very flattering.
7/11/09 8:27 PM
Annette, you have done it again! We hereby declare you the "Jacket Queen"! I love this. I have always thought peplums were so cute, and yours is the perfect amount of peplum for this jacket. Is that the proper way to say that? Well, no bother, you know what I mean. And..... that necklace! Wow! SCORE! It matches wonderfully. The buttons of course are great (I did like those the best but the others were in close running!). I thought I might be partial to those since they were the ones you used on the coat you made for Jenna. Great review.... the tutorials for the alterations were terrific. If you would just do a tutorial on a SBA instead of a FBA then my clothes might fit better! LOL!

What a cute jacket, Annette, and what a perfect, perfect fit!
7/11/09 8:42 PM
Annette this jacket is wonderful. Love it.
7/11/09 8:45 PM
Beautiful sewing! Really looks pretty on & the top stitching is the perfect touch.
7/11/09 8:46 PM
Beautiful jacket!
7/11/09 8:57 PM
Yes, beautiful - very attractive - great fit - wonderful topstitching & fabric! And thank you so much for your wonderful review.
7/11/09 9:07 PM
Wow, what a great jacket and what an excellent and fun review. I know the challenge of FBAs but have never seen it done this way so thanks for the tip. Love the triple topstitch. When you do the jacket in other fabrics, please post. This one is flattering and very chic on you.
7/11/09 9:17 PM
Stunning jacket! This is just gorgeous, and you look gorgeous in it!
7/11/09 9:17 PM
Everything about your jacket is superb -- style, workmanship, fabric and fit.
7/11/09 9:22 PM
Fantastic. I love the top-stitching and the buttons. And of course the peplum.
7/11/09 9:27 PM
Another winner Annette - you never fail to turn out perfection and also write reviews that are helpful and humourous. Bravo
7/11/09 10:31 PM
Ilove love love your jacket reviews. You make look at patterns I usually over look. great Job Annette. I want this pattern.
7/11/09 10:32 PM
You are such a pattern enabler. I have passed by this pattern so many times without seeing its potential, and now you've made me put it on my wishlist!
7/11/09 10:44 PM
Annette what a PRETTY jacket!! I just LOVE the buttons, the necklace, the collar options, the topstitching, just E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G about this jacket!! I'm sure you will get a LOT of use out of this jacket!! It suits you PERFECTLY, Annette!!
7/11/09 11:05 PM
That is impressive Annette! Love the fabric and your topstitching is fabulous (isn't that the best stitch?) I find it's easier to control on curves if you keep the needle down if you have that feature on your machine - then you can sort of pivot it slightly to take the next forward-back-forward, and it also works for going around corners.
7/11/09 11:17 PM
Great jacket. I love the color, on its own and on you, and I think you made the right choice regarding the buttons. Thanks for the tips on the alterations you made to the pattern - I like that you altered the peplum to keep scale with the rest of the jacket. It fits you perfectly, and who cares what the ELVES think about your bra. They're ELVES, they shouldn't be thinking about that stuff anyway. (And I think Santa knows; I always pictured Mrs. Claus as a bodacious babe).
7/11/09 11:23 PM
Kay: Are you "needling down" (how's that for a phrase) after it does the BACK stitch and gets ready to start the first of the two forward stitches, or does it matter? I think I did that a couple times, but I didn't think to do that along the entire curve. Thanks!
7/11/09 11:25 PM
Great jacket...great fit!

LOOOOVVEE this jacket!! It looks wonderful on you!! The fabric is beautiful. I like your version better the the picture on the pattern envelope.

Was just looking for a jacket pattern a few days ago. Passed this one up since I didn't think it would suit my upper body shape. Will have to give this another look at to consider. The Jacket looks wonderful on you Annette. Thank you for the inspiration.

A very smart jacket in a gorgeous fabric. I bet you'll find it a really useful garment, too. Well done.
7/12/09 1:57 AM
Love the jacket - such a beautiful fit and the necklace is such a great finishing touch. Always love seeing your reviews.
7/12/09 2:13 AM
Hej Annette! I just woke up to have my near-midnight snack (I would be waking up at this time if I were still in Sweden) and also had to satisfy my fashion fix and ja, I see your super cool review of your FANTASTISK och CHIC jacka. I totally agree with Christas that you are the "Jacket Queen" (ooh see that girl, watch that sewing machine, stitches the jacket queen). Your topstitching, buttons, collar, peplum, or simply everything is totally rad! Simpie's versions are eh-eh for me. However you took this pattern to a great level of artistry and skill. You are AMAZING!
7/12/09 3:19 AM
Wow! Your review is so detailed and I LOVE your jacket. Increasing the flair of the peplum was a wonderful idea .
7/12/09 3:36 AM
The fit on your jacket is perfect, and thanks for sharing the fitting techiques in your review.
7/12/09 5:01 AM
I'm going to run out and buy this pattern. Isn't that the best compliment you can get?
7/12/09 7:04 AM
LOVE it, the peplum is just such a nice detail. And your necklace is perfect with the buttons and fabric. Super! (and can I get some of your sewing time?)
7/12/09 7:43 AM
This is a very beautiful jacket this looks stunning on you. Thanks for the very informative review.
7/12/09 8:00 AM
Oh my goodness, I am COMPLETELY in love with your jacket! It's outstanding!! The fit and the workmanship are insanely good, and the fabric, the buttons, the interfacing, the topstitching, the necklace ... all totally perfect. Plus, I love peplums, and love exaggerated peplums even more. You're in the major leagues of jacket making (AND of review writing)!!
7/12/09 8:21 AM
Gorgeous jacket and your reviews are always outstanding.
7/12/09 8:33 AM
Definitely a winner, Annette. The design is good, the fabric great, and the fit is fantastic. What a great job you've done!
7/12/09 8:36 AM
Your jacket is fabulous! I love everything about it and don't know why I ignored this cute pattern with attractive details. Your choice of fabric for this pattern along with your fine fitting and sewing skills makes this jacket look like a million!

Fantastic jacket! So classy, and love the peplum!
7/12/09 9:00 AM
Fabulous jacket! And the fit is impeccable!
7/12/09 9:13 AM
Perfection, Annette! Your topstitching is the best! I know it'll be even better (if that's possible) in your fave wool crepe. The fit is perfect and you look stunning!
7/12/09 9:59 AM
What a beautiful jacket! Thanks for all the helpful pattern alteration tips.

7/12/09 12:37 PM
Very super helpful....I have this pattern, I think I will dig it out and work on it cause I didn't know it had that flattering little peplum. Your jacket, of course, is superb and the buttons and necklace just make it even more outstanding!
7/12/09 12:54 PM
Annette, your reviews are excellent! Your clothes are beautiful!
7/12/09 1:33 PM
Annette, your pieces are more and more exquisite!! The whole package is amazing and breathtaking!!! You are always my inspiration!!! Annette
7/12/09 3:36 PM
I believe the people have spoken and said it all. However, I will restate that your work is perfect, to be admired, aspired for, and fashion forward. I have NEVER seen anyone here, in magazines, or in RTW do a better job sewing a jacket than you!!!! You are the top tomato.The cat's meow! The cream rising to the top! The savy stylist. Ok, I'll stop all this; you know how much we all admire your work and your fashion choices. Will you be my mentor?

7/13/09 10:10 AM
Superv review and a jacket TDF! You certainly made this pattern a winner. I've passed it up several times, but now I rethinking my decision. Highlighting the lines with topstitching is a great way to showcase the beauty of the jacket. Great job and I enjoyed reading and viewing the process.
