Lovely pattern

I purchased the pattern 2 years ago and have made a number of these jackets. Love the pattern and it is my 'go to' for a quick make. I have just noticed that you have updated the pattern recently. Other pattern companies, when they up date a pattern, email the previous buyers with the updated version. Have I missed the update email from you?
Answer:
Of course, you can get the update. Could you send me your email in order to send you the update.
Ravie de ma veste

Très joli modèle, taillant parfaitement (quoique en le coupant une taille en-dessous du tableau de mensurations, donc en suivant ma taille du commerce). Patron de très bonne qualité. Cahier technique peu utilisé, j'ai préféré suivre la vidéo. A noter que les étapes sont différentes entre les deux, au niveau du montage de la doublure et que j'ai trouvé plus simple de suivre le montage proposé par la vidéo (plus exactement, montage de la parementure). Au final, je suis ravie de ma veste qui a complété parfaitement ma robe de fête.
Answer:
Merci beaucoup

J'ai enfin trouvé le tissu pour la faire... mais il est en laize 110cm. Quel métrage me conseillez-vous pour une taille 38-40 ? Il s'agit d'une toile coton-lin fleurie sans sens. Et bravo pour vos patrons bien expliqués grâce aux tutos vidéos.
Answer:
Bonjour,
Il faudra 143 cm en 110 cm de large pour une taille 40.
