OK, so several years ago I started this pattern. At the time, my job entailed dressing professionally for meetings and conferences. Now my job entails sewing in jeans and a t shirt, mopping the floor in my jammies and walking the dog. This will not exactly meet my everyday needs. Perhaps an interview suit, should something open up locally in my line of work. In any case I cut it ages ago, the dress and the jacket. As you know, my goal is to sew through all my UFOs until there are no more, so, now's the time to finish this one. Dress first, then the jacket at a future date. What do you think? Is it too dated?
You could complete the outfit and donate it to a women's shelter. It *is* a little bit dated but could be jazzed up with a flower or brooch. What kind of fabric?
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, thanks!
DeleteI think it's very classic, and you should finish it. You would look great in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not entirely sure it will fit, as I started it a couple of years ago. If it doesn't I'll donate it as Mary suggested.
DeleteI agree with Deborah ... the style is simple and classic. Its definitely worth finishing.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can always count on you to be one of the cheerleaders!
