Irene said... This is such an appealing jacket, and thank you for writing your first review. Your work is immaculate, and I would like to understand Marcy Tilton's "tip on overlooking the armhole," but I haven't located it on her web site. Might you direct us? 7/25/11 2:56 PM
moushka said... @Irene: I think she meant 'overlocking the armhole.'
Great review, made me want to try the pattern. Your jacket is lovely. 7/26/11 10:38 PM
sfshaza said... I'm the one who made this and it doesn't look that great on me. But I really love this pattern and yours is gorgeous, esp with that killer necklace! Your finishing with the primitive print Hong Kong seaming is gorgeous. 7/26/11 11:37 PM

ArtAttack said... I love it! Great detailing...and SO beautiful on the inside, too. Beautiful work! 7/27/11 10:13 PM
DorothyK said... Beautiful inside and out. This jacket is much more interesting made up than on the pattern envelope. Congratulations on your first review. 7/28/11 10:10 AM
beth5646 said... Very nice jacket. Your work is immaculate and I love your fabric and your necklace. Don't you love those pockets? I have made this top/jacket using Japanese double gauze. I too love it. I need to write a review. I will make this pattern again, only next time will make it longer. Marcy Tilton has some gorgeous examples of this jacket on her website. Worth checking out. Thanks for the review. 7/28/11 10:45 PM
Carolyn.S said... This jacket looks great, and I like the HongKong finishing. Great colour too, I'm sure you wil find this useful as well as gorgeous! Your fabric looks a little like ripstop cotton, is this the case? 7/29/11 7:08 AM
Doobee64 said... Thank you all very much for your kind comments. It certainly is a pleasure to be a part of such a welcoming group of like-minded sewers. As to the fabric, it most certainly could be a ripstop cotton. It has been in my stash for awhile, only with ‘cotton’ as a label. But you are right, it does have the thick threads interwoven at intervals in a crosshatch pattern typical of ripstock. Happy sewing, everyone! 7/30/11 7:34 PM
whistlin dixie said... What a nice rendition of this pattern! Your finishing is beautiful. The batik bias really adds some kick to the interior. You should definitely show that off! 9/5/11 9:59 PM
