Love that fabric Gigi....it's perfect!

Very nice "plain" jacket
5/24/05 12:09 PM
Great jacket! I just love reading your no nonsense reviews. I always learn something. Did you really grow 1/2 inch with yoga?
5/24/05 12:11 PM
Yes, believe it or not I did! Goes to show you how compressed my spine was - eek!
5/24/05 12:14 PM
Cool fabric, is this another yoga-couture item? I'm grateful for the zipper pull info, I'll have to investigate further the mysteries of zips.
5/24/05 12:21 PM
Great review Gigi. I was contemplating this pattern for fall, and now I know what to watch out for!
5/24/05 12:30 PM
Love your jacket! Great review, as usual.
5/24/05 1:29 PM
Thanks for the excellent heads-up on the collar and blouson waistband. I really, really don't need anything at the waistline that makes me look as though I'm carrying (any more of) my lunch in there!
5/24/05 4:29 PM
Very nice jacket, thanks for the review! I will have to try a Jalie pattern. Having a DD, DDIL & 4 DGDs, this pattern line is something I definitely should explore!
5/24/05 4:30 PM
Very nice, Gigi--your work is always such an inspiration, now your yoga is, too!
5/24/05 4:32 PM
Nice job! Your alterations make it look even better. I don't like a blouson look either, and very tapered sleeves... well, WNTW advises against them for most women. Good on your for yoga paying off!
5/24/05 11:03 PM
love the fabric, great choice! I really enjoyed your article in threads! I found it very helpful!
5/25/05 0:52 AM
good looking top, very weell written review. I make this pattern with the hood next time without I like that look.
5/25/05 7:29 AM
Your modifications to this design improved it significantly! Another excellent review. Thanks.
5/25/05 7:53 AM
Love that zipper pull!! Great review.
5/25/05 8:58 AM
Gigi, I love your new version!! The stripes are *perfect* and the purple zip is very nice too. I feel better about my large stash of various zippers now ;o) What a great use of stash-I feel inspired!
6/19/05 2:48 PM
The new version looks fabulous. Your stripes look great - straight and even and colorful.
6/19/05 2:57 PM
Wow, Gigi, I love the white hoodie. The stripes are awsome!
6/19/05 3:22 PM
The new version is great, Gigi. Did you un-angle the collar front on this version? And what length zipper worked in your new one?
6/19/05 3:56 PM
Love the top Gigi - I've just discovered Jalie patterns - thanks to great reviews by people like you! Thanks!
6/19/05 4:11 PM
I love your new jacket and the old one too. I didn't see the original review but you always have cute outfits.
6/19/05 5:02 PM
I like them both! How do you get the pockets to line up perfectly on either side of the zipper?
6/19/05 5:54 PM
Just Lovely. Love the idea of stripes and the zipper to the top of the collar. I have made about 7 of these from size 4 to 14 and the hoodie is my favorite. It's a great pattern.
6/19/05 8:43 PM
You guys are so nice! Thank you. :-) Karla, I started with a really long zipper and ended up using 23". I try to always buy the longest separators that I can for my stash. I'm never sure exactly how long a zipper I'll need after I do the FBA! I made the same adjustments to the collar. I really like it this way so I'm going to go ahead and alter the pattern. Sue, I just sewed one side, then chalk marked the match points on the other side. Sometimes if a fabric is slithery I'll machine-tack all the match points in place before I start.

Thank you for the information. I have know about this company for a while and saw a couple of patterns that I am interested in also. My sister would love that hoodie.
6/20/05 9:57 AM
Great new version, Gigi!
6/20/05 8:08 PM
Another great jacket. I really like the white with the trims that you used. Very nice
7/22/05 1:45 PM
I really love the gathered front version! It's a great detail.
7/22/05 2:00 PM
Gigi -- Both jackets are lovely. Thanks for such an informative review. What is a Clover bias tape maker? Is it another sewing aide I need to get?
7/22/05 2:05 PM
Gigi, if I become rich and famous will you be my personal designer and seamstress? :) Everything you make, even the 'difficult' ones, turn out so *perfect*! Classy, modern, chic and timeless all at once. Wonderful job and great review once again!
7/22/05 2:26 PM
Oh Kit, I'm blushing. :-) rlshel, the Clover bias tape maker is a must-have. You feed in bias tape and press it as it comes out resulting in perfectly even folded bias tape. They come in several sizes. You *need* them. :-)
7/22/05 2:30 PM
Gigi, I think you're genius. Love all versions of this jacket, but the one with the gathered bust is particularly cute. The diamond topstitched collar is terrific: a perfect merging of form and function!
7/22/05 2:55 PM
So cute!! I love it!
7/22/05 2:57 PM
Wow, Gigi, another great version! Now I have no excuses for not exploring this pattern line. I can order from PR! Thanks for all the details, I know they'll help when I finally get in gear.
7/22/05 3:19 PM
Gigi, I just LOVE the gathering! What a great idea. I think I'll have to try that on my next hoodie jacket! -Ann
7/22/05 4:06 PM
Gigi, I think you could teach a class in modernizing/modifying the hoodie. I love this version - what a great idea!
7/22/05 4:27 PM
Gigi, I cant believe I missed this review earlier. What a great set of hoodies! These are better than anything I've seen in RTW. Oh I wish you could bring your entire wardrobe to PR Weekend so I could feast my eyes on it :) Ok Ok I know its not possible, I'll be happy with just a few!
7/22/05 4:38 PM
Your latest hoodless hoodie is a definitely a winner. Your gathering looks both wonderful and unique -- and thanks for telling us how to do it. I must try this pattern.
7/22/05 6:11 PM
Very cool. Love the gathers.
7/22/05 6:24 PM
Gigi, never sick of more versions of the same pattern. It is sensible to keep using a tried and true pattern and the variations are inspiration. Thanks!
7/22/05 7:00 PM
Way cool!
7/22/05 8:39 PM
Love the diamond collar!
7/23/05 11:27 AM
Wow, Gigi I love your jackets! They are all so great looking. Thanks for another fab review.
7/23/05 2:36 PM
I am glad to know I'm not the only one who can exhaust a pattern twelve ways to Sunday! Great job on all your work!
7/24/05 4:35 PM
Awww, I wish I could see your versions. All your picture links are broken. :(
