Shifting gears...Butterick 3918
I love this pattern! It has been in my stash for a few years now.... I continued to put it on the back burner because I wasn't sure how the details in the jacket would translate after the FBA. Thanks to Palmer/Pletsch DVDs, I continue to grow in my confidence in making the alteration.
The fabric suggestion is for a shantung; however, I selected a "blue red" gabardine-like polyester twill weave(???...I may be making this up--I don't know what it is ;-). Anyway, I love the fabric. It's darker than the pic indicates...almost a rich crimson or burgundy--great for the fall season.
I have the same pattern do the same as you. Push it back in the que. Your fabric choice is beautiful. Can't wait to see yours made up.
ReplyDeleteI like this pattern too. This is one I haven't noticed in the catalog. The fabric is beautiful. Good luck with the project.
ReplyDeleteIn a bind. I'm sewing up this suit today to wear to my son's wedding on Friday. (I leave tomorrow a.m.) I have lost pages 3 and 4 of the pattern guide. Could you possibly do me a favor and scan and email me those pages. I would love to return the favor in any way or pay you for your time. Thank you so much. --Charlene
