              Q&A with PrincessLeah

              snowblouse asked:
              Your jacket looks wonderful. It doesn't however look as boxy as the one on the pattern cover. Did you shape it a little?
              PrincessLeah answered:
              I did, once I sewed the side seam and saw how boxy it is, I went back and sewed it again with shaping for the waist.
              Clio asked:
              Oooh, nice jacket Leah! I just bought this class. Nice to "see" you!
              PrincessLeah answered:
              I've been following your creative process on your blog. I'll be making a print version of this jacket as welll
              Daisy Copeland asked:
              I love this jacket. Will join soon to learn more at this class
              PrincessLeah answered:
              Great class, great jacket
              danielle99 asked:
              That looks amazing! Maybe I'll take the class.
              PrincessLeah answered:
              I highly recommend this class, after taking a number of classes I can tell you this one is really really good, they aren't all of this caliber.
