Some of you are familiar with Nancy Erickson's Fashion Sewing Group. I recognize a few names on Nancy's thread at Stitcher's Guild. I became very interested in the discussion(s) on that forum, and a couple of weeks ago, purchased the jacket workbook, and the 1945 jacket pattern.
I then ordered the other two jacket supplements, the newsletter, the book "Do You Love What You Sew", and the "Pants Conversion" leaflet. They came in today's mail.
So, even though I'm late for the party, I got there! I'm enjoying reading this material, and there is always something new to learn. Her method is to work up a TNT and then "design it yourself" details. I'd be happy to hear if you've made this jacket, or any of her patterns and your thoughts about them.
My Butterick jacket from the post below is finished. Photos maybe tomorrow.

Great news about your husband!
I just got the Jackets workbook and some patterns from Nancy Erickson. I haven't started on my jacket yet, but am definitely interested in what everyone has to say about her patterns!
Hurrah! That is wonderful news! I'm so glad he's doing so well.
What a great day! So happy to hear that your DH vision has returned. And it looks like you have some fun new reading material. I haven't tried any of her patterns. I'll look forward to hearing about all your fun!
Oh happy day! What great news about your hubby!
The reading material is good isn't it? I just ordered the jacket workbook and 1945 myself. Hopefully after I get a couple of other things done, I'll be able to work up a TNT myself.
I am so happy to hear this news about your husband! Have fun with your new patterns/reading.
Gwen, I missed the post about your husband's stroke and just read it now. It is fantastic that his vision returned!! I'm sending him lots of healing energy!
Fantastic news about your husband. I hope he continues to improve.
Great news Gwen!
Sooo happy for you and your husband, Gwen! Continue to take care of you, too--as you are, eh...
Warm hug,

I am so pleased to hear that your dear husband's health is improving. My thoughts are with you both.
What great news! You must be so relieved.
God answers prayers. As far as the reading material...better late then never. I'm sure as awesome of a sewer that you are, you could write your own book anyway. Hugs!
Wonderful news, Gwen! Hope this trend continues and his rehab time is minimal. Its nice to have some fun reading to give you some "calgon" moments.
Great news about your husband's sight. I haven't tried any of her patterns or read her books, so I will be interested in your views.
I am so glad to hear your husband has made an improvement! What great news!
I missed your post about your husband's illness but I am so happy to read he is doing better. ..this is such wonderful news.
The jacket pattern looks great... look forward to seeing it made up..
Gwen, that must have been very scary for the both of you. How wonderful that he has made such a dramatic improvement. I have to say, I take things like eyesight and hearing for granted, but my DH is losing his hearing FAST and I'm learning to be grateful for my health.
I'm sorry to hear of your husband's stroke, but it is wonderful to hear that he is on the improve.
Enjoy your new books and patterns!
What good news for you and your husband. I guess if you can't sew, reading about it is almost as good! Hope the roller coaster slows down soon.
Great news about your husband! Have fun reading your new books!
I'm so relieved to hear that your husband's vision has returned. (I'm sure that you are also!) You deserve a time for taking it easy. The Nancy Erickson items sound enticing. I'll be reading what you think -- might indulge myself!
Add me to the list of women who are so glad to hear that your DH is doing better! My prayers are with you both!
so glad that your husband's sight has returned. I've been thinking so much about the stress you've been under. It isn't easy to be the caretaker.
I'm glad your husband's health has improved. When love ones are ill life become very stressful. The reference materials and jacket pattern are interesting. I've never used them before. Good luck with your future project and God bless you and your husband.
Glad your husband his doing great......
