I only have a bit more than 1 metre of it so it's not enough to make a lot of things. I thought I could make a simple jacket with this stash pattern Simplicity 8850:
I have used this pattern before to make the long and short skirts (see here). I have also made the jacket years ago before I had kids. I had also donated that jacket years ago. I seem to remember that it was a generous fit. I know I should do a muslin since my body has changed so much after having 2 kids, but I'll risk not doing it this time. Let see how things will turn out!
What a lovely piece of fabric - just perfect for a jacket like this. No collar, and with a zip front less fabric is needed so you will probably get it out. I sometimes use something different for the facings. Looking forward to seeing this. Good luck on your reforming plans.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz! I hope it will work out even though I'm not planning to do a muslin first!
DeleteLooking forward to seeing this! Yes, our bodies change so much after kids, don't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! Yes my body has changed a lot since having kids. That's why I need to clear out most of the sewing patterns I bought before having kids! They don't fit me anymore.
