I finally got my husband to take some photos of the three core pieces for my SWAP. It was like trying to obtain Plutonium, so please don't judge my posing! You'll get the gist of where I'm trying to go with this.
The jacket is from Simplicity 4273 copyright 2006, the skirt is Simplicity 1760 copyright 2012. Both patterns are out of print. The pants are from a RTW pair that I copied using the "paper tape" method. The pattern is from 2010. Why try reinventing the wheel when I knew that I was back to my 2010 size! My only regret is that the fabric is some ratty polyester gabardine from JoAnn's that's been in my stash forever! Not only am I sewing with a plan...I'm also trying to create this entire wardrobe from my stash.
The three pieces passed the husband test. He asked it I made it. He thinks he's on the board of the Fashion Police so if he likes it that means a lot. What are you thoughts so far?
