New Projects On The Cutting Table

Here is a preview of my upcoming projects:

B5718, already cut and ready to go. I'm making the short version (red jacket) I think it's view B. Vogue 1100, there is enough of each of these fabrics to make two full suits, one houndstooth and one in the solid. But I thought about the jacket in the houndstooth and the skirt in the solid. What do you think?


Vogue 8567, the skirt & jacket. Simplicity 2636, the top with sleeves. I have several pieces of black fabric to make the pants.











I've wanted this coat for quite some time in this fabric. New Look 6736













This purple faille from fabric.com will be a jacket and skirt, Butterick 5294










And this one will be OOP Butterick 3638, a royal blue for the jacket and a solid black skirt (fabric underneath the pattern).









I know these two fabrics look almost the same shade on my monitor, but here they are side by side.












I am not sure what I want from the last two pieces. I love animal prints. It could be a lightweight coat for Spring. When I first pulled it out, I thought about a skirt.
I think when this one was originally purchased, I wanted it to be a skirt, long and breezy. It is a satiny, crinkle type with strands of ribbon and specks of clear sequins sewn throughout. I may have to come back to this one later.

Looks like you have a lot great projects on your cutting table. Re: V1100: I agree that the jacket in the houndstooth and skirt in the solid would look fabulous!

Lovely line-up of patterns & fabric. The jacket would look great in the houndstooth & the skirt in the solid fabric. I have NL 6738 and looking forward to your version.

Thanks for the lovely compliment on my jacket.
