I think green will be our color for Easter this year. I purchased this floral shantung fabric from FabricMartFabrics.com late last year.
I used my favorite McCall 5668 jacket pattern. The pattern sews up so quick and I can start & stop just about anytime without loosing my train of thought. I did take an additional 1/2" at the side seams and I lined the sleeves in a white polyester lining.

I fused the Pellon EK130 knit interfacing on all pieces. I do love this type of interfacing.

Now I have to decided what color ponte knit for a dress. I'm thinking the last one on the right. A simply TNT princess seam dress.

McCall 5668 Jacket |
I hope to get to the dress this weekend. It should be an easy sew & nothing too complicated.
Until next time.....................

You've done a great job on your jacket, Bonnie! It's looking really good!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely. I love the colors of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteLovely jacket! I like the two fabrics on the right in your line up for the dress. Both of those will work well with the jacket fabric. I have to say I am partial to the blue fabric as it helps draw out the blue in the fabric, it gives it a pop of color. You will be looking lovely for Easter!
