MaryDB said... Wow, the shirt looks great! Nice job working with the floral pattern. I didn't have the nerve to order that fabricmart fabric - you've done a terrific job with it. 4/19/10 12:40 PM
edot said... ooh! excellent! I love the pleat in the back that gives way to the awesome size of the floral in this print. This is going to be an excellent, easy-to-wear *pop* of color and fun! 4/19/10 12:58 PM
Riordan said... Gorgeous jacket!! Love the placement of the print. (I've been resisting ordering this fabric, but after seeing your jacket, my resistance is gone.) 4/19/10 1:03 PM
Cathy Loves Fabric said... I loved this fabric from FabricMart but didn't know how to use such a large print. But you did! Your pattern placement of the large flower is so perfect. Thanks for the lesson on the use of large prints. 4/19/10 1:10 PM

Patti B said... Carolyn, another beautiful garment from you. Gorgeous fabric and your careful placement of motifs take best advantage of it. 4/19/10 3:00 PM
Christas said... Very nice! Love the way you showcased the pleat! 4/19/10 7:14 PM
marec said... Your attention to detail, and fashion sense, make this a wonderful shirt/jacket. It's absolutely lovely. 4/19/10 8:59 PM
Cowtown Karen said... I love this! Looks so RTW. I'm off to Fabric Mart to see if they have more of this fabric. 4/19/10 10:27 PM
FreyaStark said... A smart and highly original shirt. 4/19/10 11:46 PM
o3b said... Your top is great and you will certainly be noticed in this! I HAD to come look at your review just because of the fabric. Good thing, too, since this pattern is in my size range. 4/20/10 3:19 AM
susiestitcher said... Count me in on the beautiful fabric. Your topper shows what a difference the print placement can make. It is always painful to me when I sew (and/or see others sew ) beautiful fabric designs that are not placed well. It takes a great eye to think it all out first, and you have it! Lovely blouse. 4/20/10 7:21 AM
Fran G said... What a great piece, Carolyn. The color of the print is a perfect accent for your wardrobe. I saw that fabric but sadly lack your "vision". I predict it will get a lot of wear! 4/20/10 7:35 AM
what is not taken said... Beautiful jacket. You always make such beautiful clothes and I love your blog and you are an inspiration to keep me sewing and learning. Outstanding job!!! Thank you for sharing. 4/20/10 9:04 AM

MissCelie said... I totally and completly love this jacket. The print makes it a real head turner! 4/20/10 1:22 PM
carolynw said... This is beautiful - placement of the motif is excellent, I am so glad to see this review. The drawing on the pattern envelopes for Connie's designs are not at all inspiring - I looked at this pattern and passed it over - now I think after reading your review this is one I must get!! 4/20/10 5:22 PM
4u2cme said... I love your print placement. I have this CC pattern in my stash. It didn't really inspire me until now. I think I need to pull it out and give it a try. Another great piece in your wardrobe. 4/21/10 9:00 AM
pterion said... Beautiful topper, Carolyn. Love the springy print and appreciate all the thought that went into showing it off to best advantage. Looks like this will be a very versatile piece in your wardrobe! 4/21/10 9:57 AM
