The jacket is an old favorite of mine, Burda 8905 (OOP)If you have this pattern and have never used it, I can truthfully say that it is a little gem. I've made it six times!
and the skirt is from BWOF (which I know is now Burda Style ) in the February issue of 20003, style #128.
I used the stripe of the cotton twill fabric in all directions which was great fun in the planning stage.I used a contrasting heavy duty thread for the top stitchingwhich you know I love to do!
For the facings, I used a taupe linen stripe which I think coordinates well with the tan/cream cotton twill.
I tidied up all the seams by using either a Hong Kong or a flat fell finish.
This outfit was really a joy to make .Next spring, I'll add pants as well.
More pics here!
And now on to some fall sewing and a quilt for Riley.
Happy Sewing from
