MNBarb said... This is really a beautiful jacket. I love the design details at the waist. Your finishing technique looks very professionally done. Corduroy was a perfect fabric choice. Catbird has also inspired me to try patterns. 10/26/10 12:42 PM
marec said... What beautiful work-I admire your perseverance with all the seam finishes. Your jacket is gorgeous. Congratulations on your new baby too! 10/26/10 3:39 PM
Nan Kay said... Super cute jacket, I don't think I have ever noticed this pattern, good for you for finding it! 10/26/10 5:01 PM
Barbara V said... Congratulations on your new baby! Your jacket is fabulous and looks great on your amazingly slim post baby body! I love how your used the corduroy fabric for the bias insets at the waist for a really great result. I have this pattern "but haven't used it yet"....sigh. 10/26/10 8:27 PM
AuntieShel said... Such a cute jacket--all the detail!! Can't believe you encased all those SA's in bias binding. That is what I call dedication. You look fabulous after just having the baby!! Is that one of her big brothers in the pic behind you? So cute! 10/26/10 8:44 PM
Catbird said... It's beautiful, Amanda! You were so brave to tackle this in corduroy and I love how it came out. The inside finish is phenomenal and I KNOW how much work that was.... Congratulations on a great jacket and especially on your new baby! 10/26/10 8:44 PM
1SewSweet said... Great jacket! Love the color and an awesome fit on you too! Doesn't look like there's any "baby weight" there! Great job! 10/26/10 9:39 PM
Kayseri said... I love this jacket! You've done a beautiful job with a complicated pattern. (And I must remember the bias tape seam finish for casual jackets). 10/26/10 9:56 PM
CynthiaSue said... I wish i had the patience for all those bias seams because it looks so amazing. this jacket is lovely and timeless. i think you will be able to wear if for 10 years! 10/27/10 0:28 AM

susiestitcher said... Your jacket is beautiful, as are all your garments. The corduroy was a perfect choice for showing off the insets. Just the right texture for them - neither over the top nor lost in the fabric. I am so in awe of your bias bound seams. What a lovely custom touch. Who needs lining when you can make the inside look like this! Great job. Congratulations on the new baby. You look amazing! 10/27/10 1:08 PM
Dei said... How you have time to sew with a new baby I don't know, but your jacket is fabulous. The sewing is your usual impeccable. Great fit as well. I see your little sugarbear playing in the corner of the yard. :) 10/27/10 2:01 PM
Maree P said... This is simply superb Amanda - in no way it is Little House on the Prairie. Your sewing is impeccable and really showcases the place of unlined jackets for our wardrobes (particularly in my climate). 10/27/10 7:12 PM
