I just wish all those who have made their coats would be so kind as to post pictures!

Am I correct in thinking that the description of pattern #6511 should be "racer-back" not "razor-back"?

I have used Sandra Betzina's one-seam pants pattern for several (about 15?) pair and love them! Silk dupioni for the most part and some in drapery-weight linen. Some with cuffs and some without.

OH, MY! I would so love to wear this jacket but could never afford it in this lifetime!

THANKS to the subsequent comments on this article, I now see where that person was coming from when labeling this idea as a "total joke".
Appreciate the enlightenment and will go forward to try to make some of these myself.

I don't understand why the previous poster felt this was a "total joke". Wouold someone please enlighten me? Thanks.

WOW! Finally took the time to read ALL the comments and see that I missed the fact of 2 3/4 yards X 25 inches. Back to the drawing board! Did use 1/4 inch graph paper and made 2 little jackets (pinned only) for a doll (wooden drawing articulated figure). Too cute and also made the saecond one in striped fabric so could compare with Issue #100. Is there a gallery for this as yet?

I sewed many a bound buttonhole back in the 50s, even a triangle shape but have not done a corded one. Just may try it!

Oh, my goodness! I made those clothes in the 50s!
If I am not one of the lucky winners, I may have to track down and purchase this book!

I did this technique "about" 40 years ago! Thank you, Kenneth King for refreshing my memory!

"Dying" to try this out and glad to see the correction before I cut into any fabric but if I may make a suggestion? How about referring to the second piece of fabric as a "rectangle" and not a "square"?

Oh, YUMMY! I have the Ultrasuede, the Lumiere paints; now to get a "round tuit"!

Would really like to know what the fabric is? My first thought on seeing the article was how neat it would be made from fleece (no fraying edges with which to contend!).
