I promised someone that I would take some time to sew just for me, and while I've only gotten one item done, it did turn out great and I do love the feeling of wearing things that I have made. I got to wear my new jacket to Selena's 12th birthday, finished it just in time!
The jacket is fun to wear, and used up a nice peice of wool that I had been hanging on to, as well as three great fabrics in the lining. The pattern, from the Simplicity "SewSimple" line (number 2024), features just one easy to sew pattern for a low price. It called for fleece, which is part of why I decided to do a full lining instead. The wool is just a bit uncomfortable against my skin, but the drape of this particular peice is great.
I finished the look with metallic gold edge stitching all the way around, and down the long "tie"... just the perfect touch for me.
