    I made one last year - made it short sleeve so I could wear it with tank tops underneath. I like it, not sure I'd make another one though. Linda

    The Little somethng jacket is a HUGE hit at two shops that I frequent and teach. I have made it in linen, challis, cotton wool and have a fleece one ready to go. It is flattering to most sizes and shapes. We have tried it on several differently proportioned ladies. Looks sspectacular. It is well written and easy to follow. Have fun. Ill post some pics as soon as I figure out how to do this. Pegeth

    About how much fabric does it take? Really looks cute!

    I'm not sure which pattern you are talking about, but it does seem nice and great for in between weather.

    I made this jacket in my size but it was too small in the shoulders. I did not do any altering of the pattern. I just bought some fabric to make it again this time so it will fit in the shoulders. It is easy and sooo light weight. A couple of friends have made it with a lining so that it is reversable.

    I didn't read all the posts here, but is $9.00 a fair price for such a simple pattern? Joann's often has patterns deeply discounted. if I was looking for a jacket pattern, I would look around for pricing first. But, that's just me being a cheapskate!!

    If they sold this pattern at Joann's they would have to sell it cheaper.... Everything costs more in a quilt shop.
