A break from what you might ask? The
last dress project - Vogue 1189 and....... as a result of my experience with that project - a break from the
next dress project. Remember?....I'd cut
three dresses and thus far have only completed one.

The
cape that I wore with Vogue 1189 is one that I got from my late maternal grandmother (Mamma Lizzie). It was my inspiration for this project. I wear it often. It's fashionable, it goes with just about everything and above all, it's warm! I wanted something to throw on and be a bit stylish at the same time.

| This look is not my favorite but it's growing on me! |
While this jacket is not designed to wear in freezing temperatures, it will be perfect on those chilly days and or nights where a sweater or light jacket might come in handy.

Peace and Blessings! and.......

Thanks for make that up! I've been obsessing over that pattern for several weeks now. It's nice to finally see someone make it up. I really like your version. I've been thinking about making it in a double knit of ponte knit.
ReplyDeleteI really love it - it's so flattering, and I feel like your version is nicer looking that the envelope photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments ladies! Faye - do it! Do it! I would love to see it in a ponte knit. As a matter of fact you may have just given me my second fabric choice *wink*! Happy sewing!
