Your jacket looks like it fits you to a tee! Very nice jacket, I like your fabric choice. You made it sound so easy. Penny

Wow!! I have this OOP!! I'll have to make it up - what do you think about fleece?

Peg--Wow! You did a very nice job. The jacket fits you well, the binding looks great and the buttons are well done, too. The whole thing is great!

The self binding is better looking than another trim would have been. It doesn't detract from the pretty color of the fabric.

Lovely! Wonderful color.

Good review and very nice looking jacket. I also like the fact that you used self-covered buttons - something we just don't do much anymore but yet looks so nice.

Beautiful craftmanship, as usual. Amen to Nickle's comment: You make it sound easy. I wish I had your experience with, for example, mitering--to name just one sewing skill brought to bear on this lovely jacket.

Your jacket looks terrific, and I especially like the big covered buttons. Usually I just go with store buttons, but the covered ones you did really give the jacket a great look.

Oh my goodness...Thanks everybody for the really nice comments! Penny -- it really is an easy jacket! Only 3 pattern pieces and as I said sew the sleeve in flat. Penelope - mitering binding is really very simple -- I'll send you a drawing for an easy way to do it. Mary Reed, I think this jacket would be excellent in fleece! In fact, that's what the pattern lists to use. I guess I'm old fashioned, I really prefer the fabric covered buttons for a lot of things -- just looks more polished and classy to me.

Peg, great jacket! I love self-fabric covered buttons too. It just adds that extra touch because you don't see them so much these days. Your quilting experience shows -- your binding looks perfect! Looks like a very comfortable *and* flattering jacket, a combo not always easy to find.

Your jacket looks great on you. Beautifully done.

Great jacket. I would like to make one for my Mother, I hope it is not OOP.

This turned out beautiful. It looks like you got a nice fit too.

What a professional looking jacket! You did a beautiful job.

Thanks for the nice comments! I should check back here more often -- it really brightened my day!

Thanks for the close up detail, I had no idea just how cool this jacket was until I saw that. What sort of 'make your own button' blank do you use? Beautiful work!

Very nice. I like the look of this jacket, classic. Thanks for reviewing.

Georgene, I picked up a package of "Maxant" buttons to cover from Hancocks. It was these are Dritz and I just don't like Dritz so..... This kit came with the little plastic do-hickey (the technical term!) to push the fabric and button blank into and a little plastic thing to help push the back of the button in place. I couldn't do it with my fingers so I used the wood block from my buttonhole cutter and a small hammer! Those buttons are not going to come apart on me! LOL The package only costs $1.39 -- lots cheaper than buttons!

Your binding looks great--so professional. Nice job. A pattern doesn't have to be complicated to look really good.
