Cute Jacket

OK I am surfing the web trying to find some inspiration after my blue top fiasco. I came across this Ann Taylor Jacket. While on the road I could not sew so I shopped. Ann Taylor is one of my go to sites/stores. So I am reaching out to my sewing buddies out there to see if anyone has seen this fabric or something similar. I cant bring my self to pay 200.00 for this jacket. I have so much fabric in my stash I really should not buy any more but thats what we do RIGHT????

From OC to OH NO!!!!!

I have been home for a few weeks now and with having out of town guest and catching up on things that haven't been done in 6 months around the house. I told my self I was not letting another week pass without sewing something... After reading all of the reviews on pattern review I decided to make this top. Vogue 1282. I don't know if I am rusty or if I have been out of touch with my machines, but this top is not my friend. After reading all the great reviews I thought OK, its simple and quick, just what I need to get me in the swing of things. If your girls are like my girls, stay away from this one. Maybe if the neck was not so high it would drape more, but with the girls I have, I could not make the neck lower, it would have looked trashy.   It fits me the same as on the dress form. I am so glad I used a piece of fabric in my stash that I didn't really love. I didn't finish it, I thought I would take a picture of it so that you could see it, before I trashed it. My husband asked me where was the baby Kangaroo LOL!!!
