Georgia Peach-- those are gorgeous jackets! You are giving me some ideas for my next one. You know, I almost put a pocket inside, but at the last minute, didn't. I even made the pocket out of leftover strips.

To the person asking about 'honeybuns'... Moda fabrics makes precuts with bakery names. The Honeybun is a roll of 40 1.5" strips. (a jellyroll is 2.5" strips.) My jacket took 2 honeybuns.

I really appreciate all the positive comments. When I was making it, I couldn't decide if it was tacky or if I was really on to something, especially with the lining. I wore it last weekend to a friend's house, who said NOTHING! Not even when my husband made a 'leading' comment about it (which down here in the South means she didn't like it and was being polite...) I did get positive comments at work, which gave me confidence to post it here. So, I really appreciate all the nice things y'all have said!
