Downloadable Pattern: My Mink Coat Reviewed by NANCY BROOKS on 2008-12-17
I made this jacket and it was a fun project. It is a very heavy jacket so it is really warm. This was the first pattern that I downloaded and I was proud that I managed that. Totally simple. I sent a photo of it to you with the zebra jacket that I made earlier. But enclosed it again if you wnat that for the review.Love your site, always want more glamorous projects. Nancy
