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

Beautiful as always! I love the details at the waist of the skirt, and I can see why you've made 6 of that cool jacket.
Very pretty summer outfit. I love the way you used the stripe in all different directions on the jacket. It is a nice custom detail. I have made the same Burda jacket pattern twice and love it.
what a wonderful suit and as you say you will no doubt get lots of wear from these. I have seen other posts with this jacket all equally lovely so can understand why you keep going back to it.
Love the creativity you used with the direction of the stripes.
Beautiful work. Love the contrast fabric and the way you have used the subtle stripe. Very cute skirt too.
That is one great outfit. I love that jacket pattern also. I purchased it after seeing one of your creations and I've made it twice. I'm sure there will be another in my future!
Fabulous use of those stripes and such beautiful topstitching. Isn't it a delight to have a TNT pattern that looks so different each time you design a new one. This will be a wonderfully versatile suit.
Your detailing is always so professional. I like this set very much.
I love the Safari look. Your outfit is so professionally finished and lovely. You're just cute as a button in it!
Very nice, I like this style of clothing too. And love, love the top-stitching plus placement of stripes.
Beautiful job, I love the idea of a sporty suit. Too often we think suits as work wear and this is such an upgrade to real life.
Your blog is such an inspiration to me. I am trying to get back into sewing. I love your choices of patterns and fabrics and you look so pretty in the clothes you sew. You really know what is right for you. I keep coming back here so I felt I should tell you how much I enjoy your blog.
