Another piece of fabric out of the stash from Hancock Fabrics, I always wanted to make this jacket out of this fabric, but what always stopped me was that the wrong side would show. Well, sometime you just have to trust your sewing instincts and go for it.

But when I went to cut it out there wasn't enough yardage, so I just cut it shorter! The fabric was really bulky at the back neck seam and it looked terrible, too much fabric to do the recommended flat fell seam finish so instead I covered it with ribbon from the stash.

 Finally finished after all these years!

 I do like this pattern, It was fun to sew because it was different from most others, and the fit is good

 There is another pattern in my stash that is almost identical, except it wraps in the back as well as the front. I plan to use this as a summer dress pattern without the sleeves.

I was planning on putting all my cut out winter items away, but we just got a blizzard yesterday so I decided to keep on sewing and hold off on sewing the summer dresses, bummer! It was also my birthday and I got a few phone calls asking what fun things I was going to do, not much fun to be had when a blizzard is raging. Did I say I hate snow and cold?
