Diana M said... Beautiful jacket -- very nicely done and a great looking fit. I love the closures you used -- was this the way the pattern was designed, or does it have buttonholes? 4/24/04 5:32 PM

Cheryl Schwarz said... Beautiful jacket Shelmica, what did you use for closures? Very stylish...cheryl 4/24/04 6:26 PM
Liana said... Very nice looking, and very flattering on you. Interesting closures. Are they buttons? 4/24/04 7:36 PM
shelmica said... the closures were from H.A. Kidd and company, a Canadian button source.
The are reallly neat - they sew on as buttons, but fit together in the centre like a hook. 4/24/04 7:51 PM
Karen Bowers said... very nice jacket! i'm working on my first LH jacket now -- the bistro. it is amazing how much design she gets into such seemingly simple pieces. 4/24/04 9:08 PM
Ruth C said... Lovely jacket! and the color looks great on you. I made this jacket for my sister and myself for last Christmas. Everytime I wear my jacket, I get compliments on how nice it looks--This is a great pattern. 4/24/04 10:25 PM
ChrisK said... That is a fabulous jacket with a great fit, which, in by book, makes the pattern (11.20) worth every penny!! 4/25/04 2:49 AM
Rhonda Noah said... Very nice jacket. Glad you are happy with it as it looks very good on you. Love the closures! 4/25/04 3:02 AM
Mariella said... Your jacket looks terrific, Shelmica. I ordered this pattern just last week, having read the positive comments about it here. Oddly enough, I have the exact same closures; I'm also in Ontario and I got them to use on Loes Hinse's Retro Jacket (but decided to use traditional buttons instead). I thought they might be perfect for the Bolero jacket - great Canadian minds think alike! Did you order your pattern from the US or from Timmel's in N.S.? 4/25/04 6:57 AM
Lisa Laree said... Great looking jacket! Those are perfect closures...I'm going to have to look and see if I can find any thing like that in this neck of the woods. I haven't tried the short version...I think I need to, now... ;) 4/25/04 7:23 AM

JDpenelope said... This jacket is a winner! Thanks for helpful review. I'm wonder if there are books on Loes Hins' sewing methods, or do you really need to go to a seminar, or are the instructions enough? Thanks. 4/25/04 9:03 AM
Danvillegirl said... I really like this pattern and your version looks very nice. I like the front closing you used also. very helpful review. 4/25/04 4:00 PM
SewTwin said... This is a great pic for a review.I do also appreciate your notes about height, weight, as us petite people are difficult to fit from just descriptions of patterns. However, it may just be jealousy, but I don't think you fit in plump division if you are 130 and over 40, Ha-52 for me! Thanks for all the details. 4/26/04 0:42 AM
