Matinee 'Swing' Jacket Reviewed by Lorraine Burke on 2009-10-26
I absolutely love this pattern! I made this in Homespun Herb Meadow. Gorgeous and looks like it came out of a boutique. What I changed was that I made two tabs that show left to right with button hole make two buttons instead of one. Looks fantastic. In fact, you can open the top and button the second if you want and it looks teriffic as well. I did make it longer as one lady did the same. When in a store, three women asked me where did I purchase it. This really is a jacket that is stunning once on. I love this site, can't stop now.
