My New Find!

It was exciting to see this pattern for fifty cents. This pattern was printed in 1991. I have made the pattern adjustments and removed the gathers from the sleeve caps. Yes, I cut it for my daughter to match her navy pants. It is in the holding-basket until I finish my white brocade suit. I can't wait to make one for myself.


This is a nice pattern and I like the results of the smooth sleeve caps. Last night I was
scrolling through http://perfectsuits.tumblr.com and there were several jackets with the original ruffled/gathered sleeve caps.

    Hello Dorothy - the jacket is very lovely without the big sleeves - quite up to date, so I am sure your daughter will love it.

    I agree, very well done losing the big gathered sleeves. It looks gorgeous and your daughter will look very smart in it with her navy pants!
