I think the front of the suit will lay even smoother once I re-sew the buttons in a different way, so I need to get on that!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-24952793287511503042015-07-24T12:08:43.240-06:002015-07-24T12:08:43.240-06:00I really like the shape of the suit jacket and pai...I really like the shape of the suit jacket and paired with the fab hat it makes a great outfit.Kate-Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664293299445754159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-47101323215647509262015-07-09T11:33:26.687-06:002015-07-09T11:33:26.687-06:00Thanks Bonita, the hat is rather a cheerful one, I...Thanks Bonita, the hat is rather a cheerful one, I think it is all the stripes that do it! I had been craving a dark navy pencil skirt, and I figured if I was going to be making the skirt I might as well make a little jacket too. The flowers in this particular field were so lovely, I wanted to take the blue ones home with me and re-plant them in our garden!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-31946099588981981532015-07-08T23:08:01.610-06:002015-07-08T23:08:01.610-06:00I adore the jaunty cheerfulness of your tilt hat ~...I adore the jaunty cheerfulness of your tilt hat ~ it really is super cute, and it's so awesome you made it yourself! Your suit is lovely, I'm drooling over the navy color. I have been searching and searching for a 1940's navy suit, but I'm beginning to think I should sew one myself because they seem to be that hard to find! The pictures of the flowers are lovely, btw. ❤<br /><br />xox,<br />bonita of <a href="http://www.lavenderandtwill.com/" rel="nofollow">Lavender & Twill</a><br />Lavender and Twillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331125027969557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-32701364480079606312015-07-08T11:32:30.022-06:002015-07-08T11:32:30.022-06:00Thank you Emileigh!

So far I've only made children's clothing, but after seeing your suit I think I've been inspired to try something a little more complex! I think I know what kind of fall/winter suiting you're talking about, I may have a pattern like that.
