Now that I see how lovely your version (you and I have a similar body shape), I think it's finally time to pair it up with something from my stash and give it a try.

I made it out of the polyester batik that was displayed with the pattern. While I do enjoy wearing it, and I agree it was a breeze to create -- my jacket is not as versatile as yours. I'm going to make another with longer sleeves in a "friendlier" fabric. Thanks,as always, for the inspiration, Carolyn. :-)Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003983542358714609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-47244207660088944312017-10-18T13:29:07.358-04:002017-10-18T13:29:07.358-04:00I wondered because you usually mention it but didn...I wondered because you usually mention it but didn't this time.
