I worked on this suit for about 2 weeks. Sometimes you have to walk away from a project and come back with fresh eyes. This was definately the case with this suit. I dont like creating blazers... it is no secret to anyone that knows me. On top of that, I wanted to create this horizontal pleat that I am in love with and cannot wait to incorporate into a leather jacket at the end of the year. With all that said... this one took me through the ringer.
My fabric is denim and I continue to purchase this same fabric over and over again (same as my origami skirt) as I continue to run into it on the red tag isle at Joanns. The day they have a red tag sale I should probably just buy the rest of it!
I used McCalls Pattern M6902 View D for the Jacket and Simplicity Pattern 1696 for my pants. 1696 is an amazing fit pattern that I attempted for the very first time. Since I will be wearing this to work, I wasnt disapointed in my fit not being so "amazing" HA!
For my sleeves I cut my sleeve patter and placed on top of my pattern, THEN I began to fold and pin my pleats. Once done, I cut my sleeve out and continued sewing both the jacket and pants according the pattern instructions... I will definately be attempting this again. Next time I am thinking of reinforcing the pleats with stitches.
