This is an awesome pattern. I love the curve hemline, the fit, and the length.

                                                                                     Simplicity 4014 in Lavender knit & Poly lining

Coral and White!

Pattern: Simplicity 3845, 2007 Threads Magazine Collection Sewing Pattern. Misses' Pants Or City Shorts, Skirt And Lined Jacket: The collarless jacket has round neckline, concealed front button closing, three quarter sleeves and pocket and trim options; The belt with bow closes with snaps; The pants, shorts have waistband, front and back darts and side zipper closing; the skirt has side hemline vent.

 Sizes: 8-24

Fabric: Polyester crepe and polyester lining

The coral plant was a smaller version as a gift from a friend. She calls it Angel Wings. Although I took pictures, the lower right seam needed a little more pressing. I actually love the feel and drape of the fabric.

 

 Adjustments: Added 4" to the jacket and 5" to the skirt.

 Embellishment: Polyester roses by the yard from JoAnn Fabrics. Roses were stitched horizontally between each rose so as not to distort the roses. The facing was added, then the roses and the buttonholes before completing the lining.

I considered stitching a vertical line on the right side of the buttonholes, but did not want the line on the right side of the fabric.

 

It's All About Drape! Dot,Use the Correct Fabric Please!!!!!

Pattern: Butterick 5928 MISSES' VEST AND JACKET: Fitted, lined vest or jacket has front extending into drape and back collar, shoulder pleats, princess seams, and shaped hemline. Lining shows on hemline.
Dress: Simplicity 2474 from previous post. Yes, dress also has poofing/puffing (air underneath).
                    
                                                         Yes, puffing air beneath my clothes as if I need any extra swelling!

The poofing/puffing is very noticeable around the bust area towards the sleeves. Although I've pressed it, the front bands are not flat. Maybe, I'll go back and do some topstitching and possibly using some spray starch.

Another light bulb just went off; Would things have worked better had I not used the lining at all? What about if I had used a cotton/polyester fabric for the lining? Maybe you know the answer as I do not.

 

 Sizing: 6-22


The back looks better than the front. The drape is not completely right. Definitely, a jersey knit or ITY would work much better. Sewing was truly created to wart off all signs of Alzheimers as one is continuously trying to figure out the solution to the puzzles of the craft.

 

The jacket does look like the pattern drawing. Directions were very easy to follow.

 

Who could not want this pattern? Isn't it beautiful! Wouldn't it be so pretty in sweater knit? Yes, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, next time. Yes, I've got it figured out, by trial and error!

 

 

Fabric: 100% polyester purchased for $1 yard at Walmart quite a few years ago. Lining: polyester

It's up in the air as to if I would make this pattern again. If by any chance that I did make it again, it would be made as a sweater in the appropriate fabrics. These are the suggested fabrics:

Designed for medium weight woven fabrics.

FABRICS: Crepes, Wool Blends, Wool Crepe, Gabardine. Contrast D: Satin, Sequined Fabrics. Lining: Lining Fabrics Fabric on my bed as a duvet with the pillows on the reverse side to stop the competition as some of the pillows have stripes. Okay, it would have been of better use made into a quilt for the bed, but I couldn't enjoy it after two days of starring at it as a test run.

 

After writing this, I now find it so funny. I'll probably wear the dress as suggested by viewers with a solid jacket. Great suggestion! Thanks for taking time to view and comment.

 

So, it has the perfect pattern and colors

Pattern: Butterick 5982 MISSES'/MISSES' PETITE DRESS AND BELT: Dress has close-fitting, lined bodice, side front seams, pleated and gathered skirt, back zipper, and belt with bow, knot and Velcro^® closing. A/B, C D cup sizes.

 Okay, this is a shower curtain that includes the bronze that matches my shoes and purse. It's a little hard for me to leave this pattern as it is fitting perfectly into my life right now.

 

 

Why am I feeling as if these Spring outfits should have been completed and that I should not be rushing to add to my wardrobe. Yes, I make a lot of church outfits, but I do need some casual outfit to wear on dates with the hubby.
