I am new to sewing, and one of my biggest frustrations so far is the mounds of excess sleeve ease in patterns, ugh.<br /><br />I like the kitty, too. :)Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911664372509530414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-58408299667374310952012-08-08T00:21:03.827+09:302012-08-08T00:21:03.827+09:30I wondered how the Fashion Star patterns would wor...I wondered how the Fashion Star patterns would work out. I remember that jacket from the show and I have to say I like it now that you've made it (didn't care for the ones on the runway). Sorry to hear that you had issues with it. I'll take the pattern off your hands:)Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774813503471281011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-20363719537576931952012-08-07T14:21:50.068+09:302012-08-07T14:21:50.068+09:30I had been tempted by this pattern but you are sca...I had been tempted by this pattern but you are scaring me - now I'm curious to try it LOL clearly I'm a sucker for punishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-10409283950477891332012-08-07T13:46:20.057+09:302012-08-07T13:46:20.057+09:30Hi Suzy, what a shame!

I'll happily take the pattern off your hands if it would quell your frustration! I'm sure your next piece will be gorgeous.Sue A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14249372926827996116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-45800790251560038762012-08-07T13:42:10.245+09:302012-08-07T13:42:10.245+09:30This is extremely unusual for you to have such ...This is extremely unusual for you to have such 'daggers in the eyes' toward a garment you make! Scares me off this pattern if you can't nail it. My only suggestion is, because this fabric colour looks good on you, can you snip the sleeves off and make a vesty type thing??? The lapels look well made and sit well, the front length looks fine, and the back peplum is 'in'. Take off the sleeves and then get a little creative with the armhole shape and see what happens...Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-65879398118697848732012-08-07T11:34:50.633+09:302012-08-07T11:34:50.633+09:30PS - Don't want the patternPS - Don't want the patternBeaJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071033898844018967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-43950549611924436332012-08-07T10:26:46.354+09:302012-08-07T10:26:46.354+09:30Hey Suzy, when I first looked at the first picture...Hey Suzy, when I first looked at the first picture I thought - wow - how great - Suzy must be pleased (guess I should have looked at the face - not pleased at all!) Now that I have read through and looked at the pictures closer I can see what you mean by armscyes problem. It is a sham because the jacket is really quite beautiful and suits you. Perhaps when you put it away and let the resentment ease you might consider making another........BeaJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071033898844018967noreply@blogger.com
