I own an outrageous Marc Jacobs polka jacket but I've rarely worn it because of its loud print. So to answer your question, I'm going with a Native America design.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475170042869721126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-34573234518673222882012-05-24T06:19:38.525-07:002012-05-24T06:19:38.525-07:00wow i wont know that you made the top, look like s...wow i wont know that you made the top, look like something from the store!simplyvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697334495035149763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-33474722508848240772012-05-23T23:34:10.525-07:002012-05-23T23:34:10.525-07:00I fell in love with the Natasha when I saw it in t...I fell in love with the Natasha when I saw it in the J Crew catalog.

The ruffles were made from 3" wide pieces with a serged edge.<br /><br />And yes to lining! I can't tell you how many lining woes I've had with my last jacket project. My seam ripper was my best friend. :)SewPetiteGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146296944137057378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-45443905969564389882012-05-23T19:18:15.166-07:002012-05-23T19:18:15.166-07:00I like your DIY post so much.
