Herringbone Jacket - Simplicity 2728

Mother's Day attire this year was classic black and white.

 

 

 

I notice from this photo that the sleeves were a bit wrinkled.

This was after about 7 hours of wear.

Se la vie     :)

 

 

This is the third time I've sewn up Simplicity 2728.

This go round, I decided to add the notched collar

and forego the pockets.

 

 

I see why news anchors and individuals on television

don't wear herringbone.

Photography of said print proves to be a bit tricky.

 

I like the shorter length of this jacket

as an option to wear with wider leg pants.

The back inverted 'v' hem is a nice detail.

 

The pale pink lining is Bemberg Rayon.

 

I also plan to wear this version with

white capris and black capris.

A bright tank (such as a fabulous pink)

would add a terrific pop of color.

Hmmmm, I see myself sewing up a new tank in the near future.

 

What about you, my friends.

Do you make many jackets during the warmer weather?

Or do you concentrate on jackets more during cooler weather?
