I'll evaluate both of them and make a final decision when I have them in hand. Though I'm probably going to stick with my first choice. I have lots of fabrics that I can make into this jacket. And for fun, I ordered this skirt
I love the seaming detail on it, and it will be a nice change of pace for the summer. I even have some appropriately

That skirt is a very interesting design. Sounds like big projects on the horizon. Your classes sound like an awesome opportunity.
Good, I like the green one much more than the Burda. I really love that skirt.
Love the patterns. The skirt is wonderful! All look like fun!
LOVE the Marfy!
Um - $35 each? $100 for the series? limited to six?
I sure hope you're undercharging, baby, even in a bad climate.
Wish I lived on the other side of the country- your classes sound great.
Good - I was hoping you would order the Marfy, I just didn't have time to comment yesterday. The skirt looks fun, too.
I love that skirt - and orange is a great color for summer. Those classes sounds great.
Both are great choices. That skirt is beautiful and the top pictured with it is really pretty.
I forgot to say in my previous comment that I would love to take the welt pocket class, but I live in south Alabama. You could fly down here and teach it :)
I think I prefer the Marfy that is on order to the green one. It is alittle less fussy. The skirt is great! Not a big fan of orange but I bet it would look great in a bright yellow or eye-popping green.
Wish I was closer so I could take a couple of those classes. You ought to do them on DVD and sell them.
I like that Marfy jacket very much--I'm glad you opted for it. I am so envious of those who can attend your classes. Ann, I agree with Linda T--if you ever record them, I would be a customer.
Love the dress! I am not sure I would wear it in orange tho as the colour doesn't suit me! Maybe a blue!
It is so very pretty tho.
Great choices!
...can't wait to see the orange skirt...if anyone can pull-off that fun vibrant color...it's you !
You'll look fabulous, as always!
