Janelle and I love Iconic Patterns and we agreed to host a Jackie Coat sewalong so anyone who has Jackie in their pattern stash, will always be able to refer to these posts. Lena has Jackie on special at the moment so you can buy your Jackie at a discount (score) as we sewalong.

I agree. Sharing sewing experiences seems to make our hobby a whole lot more fun. I keep learning with each sewist I 'speak to'.
