It's not even Fall yet. I'm aware of this, and yet somehow I was possessed to buy this yummy gray wool and make myself a jacket. I mean, look at it. It's 100% Shetland Wool. Could you resist?
I sewed it from this vintage pattern. I wish, with my new haircut, that I looked like the girl on the cover.
I didn't really follow the directions. It was telling me to line it in some crazy way, so I just did what I knew, and lined the whole thing in natural linen.
It's kind of plain, so I dressed it up with this sword pin that I got on a kilt I bought at a London charity shop for £10. Speaking of charity shops, I picked up a wool pleated skirt at the Goodwill here in Portland for $5 that matches my jacket exactly. Now I have a suit! And, like I said, it's not even officially Fall yet.
