Well it certainly has been a while since I blogged about anything sewing related. No need to get into all the busy stuff going on in my life, but today I decided it was going to be Sewing Sunday! Yay!
I recently picked up this snazzy pattern from Decades of Style pattern company. They are this really cool company out of Berkeley, CA and mostly deal with vintage patterns. This recent pattern they offered is not really vintage, but something that can be adapted to many different genres and styles.

About 6 months ago I had purchased a lovely red wool crepe from a local fabric store on their remnant table. 3 yards at 60" wide for $15? Yes, please! Yesterday I went back to that same shop and found a perfect lining fabric, a navy and red stripe (similar to a men's necktie fabric). It was the perfect match for the red and gave the crepe a bit of body.

This pattern is labeled "easy" and it really was. Now I did change some things around. It was an unlined jacket and I wanted to make it lined. Other than that, no real changes, except I have not decided if I am going to put a functional button to close it or not.

I have not completed the jacket yet (still have some pressing and the closure to do) but it did come together very quickly and it was easy. I recommend the pattern, especially if you are new to sewing. Will update once I complete it later on. More to come!
