My local shop has closed due to illness (may never reopen!) so Walmart was my only choice on the spur of the moment. Their Elmers adhesive was not what I needed. I should have known - I mean, ELMERS???? What was I thinking???Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488689915260820635.post-62612852363179808792011-12-21T10:05:25.938-05:002011-12-21T10:05:25.938-05:00I really like the way your jacket turned out. It ...I really like the way your jacket turned out. It IS an oversized jacket, but if you don't like that look, you might not be happy with the jacket. I'm feeling the same way about mine. I used an extra small, too. On my jacket, I used a temporary spray adhesive instead of a permanent, just because I didn't want the stiffness. The temporary adhesive presented lots of it own problems, though.<br /><br />I think your fabric choices were wonderful. And I would wear that jacket anywhere.

Of course Koos is amazing with the drape - it's a gift to be able to put together such a complicated jacket, much less make patterns for the home sewer. It's just that as I'm wearing it, I'm aware of all that fabric flipping and flopping around in front of me. You can see by the photo with my foot on the step that there is a spot that isn't draping very well. That's due to the stiff lining (which is stiff due to spray glue). I just might unpick that part of the lining - maybe - on my way to DC if I'm not the one driving. I'd have to hand stitch everything in that area back in place. <br /><br />I do so much appreciate your comments!Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488689915260820635.post-88446684509535453092011-12-21T08:56:04.498-05:002011-12-21T08:56:04.498-05:00What an amazing jacket - a whole lot of work very ...What an amazing jacket - a whole lot of work very well executed!
