This fabric is Eternal Sunshine by Amy Butler for Free Spirit Fabrics. The pattern is Kwik Sew 3732. I used this pattern in 2011 for one of my favorite jackets so it was easy to decide to use it again. I still have to put 2 buttonholes on this--I found the perfect buttons in my stash for this jacket. Some of the prints in this line are quite large--it will be very interesting to see how the other 20 members of the Education Team use their fabrics. I'll have group photos when I get home from Houston, mid-November.
This fabric is from Cherrywood Fabrics, with an old Hoffman print as the accent piece. The pattern is the Kanustandit Jacket for Design and Planning Concepts. It's an old pattern, I first made it in 2005. The sleeves are kimono-style so they look slouchy on the hanger, a little less so on me. Again, I'll be eager to see the other Cherrywood garments our Team makes.
We wear these garments on specific days so, as a team, we look recognizable, but everyone chooses their own fabrics/colors from what is offered and we can make whatever we want. Here is a shot from 2015--we are wearing Vintage Made Modern by Amy Barickman for RJR Fabrics:
Now I have a couple quilts to finish quilting--one of them is going with me to hang in the office. That helps the space look more home-y, less industrial.
And I'm going to do another small sew-a-long put together by my friend Lori D at Humble Quilts. She is calling this one "Quilters Madder"--it will be small and scrappy, right up my alley. Here are my fabrics pulled quickly from pieces I am also using in Circa 2016 and Rajah Revisited:

Good job on the jackets! I think the last time I made a jacket for myself was about 15 years ago, when my youngest daughter got married.
ReplyDeleteI just pulled my fabrics for Lori's SAL and am about to do the cutting.
Good logic on your choice of fabrics. : )
Love your apparel! Glad you are joining in the sewing, although you'll have to finish it when you get back from Houston.
