Rule bending is what it's all about! That is a WOW jacket- I wish I had a reason to make one just like it...or I could make a reason up!

Beautiful jacket. I especially love that lining. It will be fun to wear.

Just lovely. You definitely ended up with a glamorous evening jacket.
10/13/04 10:45 AM
Very nice indeed.

Wow, what beautiful fabrics! I hope you get many occasions to wear your jacket.

Very cool fabrics and I think it's great you've pushed the envelope, pun intended, to use fabrics not recommended. Excellent outcome. Sure hope you can post a photo of it on you with the black velvet :)

Lovely.

What wonderful fabrics and colors. A nice garment that keeps drawing you in to see details.

This is lovely! I looked at all your pictures....you are an artistic woman and you sew beautifully.

Kitty seems to have the same good taste in clothes. I love the concept of the surprise lining. It's a nice feature for a open jacket like this.

Very unique and beautiful garment. I admire your creativity and technique.

What an inspiration. Your jacket is beautiful. Where did you get such an interesting collection of fabrics ?
10/13/04 7:28 PM
Put moderately gastly picture of me wearing this in (conclusion). The lining sari came from a local indian products shop in Brattleboro, VT, which sells used saris. The kimono fabrics from a sewing expo years ago, and the body fabric from a small fine fabric store also in Brattleboro. My xmas dress project is to use a marvellous cranberry and gold sari that I got there. Almost (but not quite) too good to cut up!

I love the fabric you chose. Frankly, yours is much better than the pattern photo. Yours captures the spirit of the pattern design so much better! Simply beautiful!

It Works! Good for you to use your talents so cleverly with this pattern.

Pretty jacket and color combination.
10/14/04 7:32 AM
I don't know who's coat is more beautiful, yours or Kitty's. I love the fabric you chose.

You did Loes proud! I hope she looks at her patterns sometimes on PR.This looks similar to jackets that won prizes at the Houston Quilt Fesitval in the "Wearables" section!Grrrreat Job!

These are such pretty jackets!

Love the new version too. I have this pattern, but have never tried it. Your review may just be the inspiration I need.

Happy to read this as I am about to make the same jacket so will know what the pitfalls are. Very in depth and helpful. I may line my jacket but will definitely be looking for ways to avoid the "not pretty" narrow turned front. New to this site I am very, very impressed. So much truly helpful info for experienced sewers such as Petra.
3/22/05 1:59 PM
That's beautiful!
3/22/05 8:14 PM
I like both your versions. Thanks for the info.
3/24/05 3:49 PM
I can only repeat all of the above! A wonderful informative review & a truly beautiful jacket! Talk about wearable art! Wow!
1/8/06 11:11 PM
Beautiful! I loved seeing all your jackets!
1/9/06 7:20 AM
I really like your bouclé and sweater knit versions too! Did you use the same size for all three versions?
1/9/06 10:29 AM
Right on! What a wonderful use of these fabrics. I think it looks perfect on you. You are small enough to be able to wear the stiffer fabric in this very well.

Petra, Your kimono projects are so inspirational to those of us who tend to stick to the basics. In all carnations your kimonos are exquisit.
