It looks, the way they are coming together, like the top/tabbed part of the pocket is just for decoration – it does not actually fold over the openning of the pocket. Am I missing something? I would have thought the point was to be able to button…[Read more]

I made the pattern “as is” in a nice chambray and I like it, but I have had enough of the 3/4 sleeve thing. I am curious if anyone has tried lengthening the sleeve. I might try a long sleeved version next.

I eliminated the back seam by cutting on the fold and then adding a small inverted pleat at the top where the seam line would have been. It worked fine.

This was my first project with wool and I was was afraid to be too heavy handed with the heat. I was more confident by the time I got to the hemming and that part went very well. If you are thinking about giving this pattern a try, I highly recommend it. EVERY time I…[Read more]

I just got some wool/cashmere fabric from Mood (by mail) and it is so lovely I might cry a little. I am planning to make another in the next week or two.
