Vogue 8259
I want to thank you all for the very nice comments on my jacket.
Faye I'm honestly not sure how long it actually took me to make this jacket. I know I really should keep track but I never think of it. If I were to roughly add up the time I'd say it would have taken me no more than a week. (We are selling our house and buying another house and unfortunately that has taken priority over my sewing time. I'm not too upset over all this though because it will all be worth it when we are settled again in our new location.)
I know when I read other people's blogs, I like to see them wearing their finished garment, so I wanted to post a picture today of me wearing my jacket.. I didn't have a photographer handy though and had to do this task myself! Not very professional ....and approx 100 pictures later....this is actually kind of funny......I think I need to get a tripod :)

It looks like a really nice fit. The colour is great on you and I love the darker blue details.
Wow! Your Chanel looks great. The detail is gorgeous. You are my idol! I want to make one like it!
The style and the color are truly lovely. It looks great on you! I love the tapered sides,it looks boxy on the pattern but on you it looks great. I am really considering this pattern as a contender for when I have the courage to start my first C ! Well done.
Ann - your jacket looks wonderful!! I'm envious!!
You do that self-photography really well!!! The jacket looks great and you will get so much use out of it.
The jacket looks fabulous on you! Yes, get a tripod it works like a charm and you won't have to ask anyone for any favors ;)
You look great! Nice job on the jacket.
Boy, that jacket looks great on you!
Very nice jacket and the buttons and the band fit perfectly with the beautiful fabric. Compliment!
Ann .- you look fabulous .... indeed is a perfect fit, congratulations.
good weekend, Paco
Ann, you did a magnificent job with this jacket and it looks splendid on you. This will be in your closet for years to come.
Gorgeous, professional jacket. Blue is defiitely your color.
The fit is wonderful. I commented on pr, but I do like to see the clothing on the creator. It is a lovely and becoming jacket.
Ann, the details on your jacket are wonderful and it looks fabulous on you !
Oh Ann, your jacket and you look wonderful! So nice to see you wearing it. That photography thing is hard, I definitely agree, but so worth it. I use it for fitting help, too. Thanks for making the effort
Thank you Ann
You are georgeous and blue is your colour
Ann, it's just beautiful on you. I got a tripod and although it isn't as easy as having a photographer, it does help a lot. I got a travel one that opens to about three feet high ,but you can also just place it on a table. I got it at Black's at Regent Mall and it cost $29.99. Well worth it I think.Happy Mother's Day. I felt like an orphan. No kids at home but a phone cll from all three.
Stunning!! The jacket looks wonderful on, you have every reason to be very proud! Great job!
Awesome Jacket looooove the fabric. A tripod will help with taking solo photos.
Would anyone be willing to permit me to borrow Vogue Pattern 8259 is size 12-14? I would pay a fee and return your pattern in its original condition within a few days. I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks. Ember, Dallas
