What was your inspiration?
The Fabric! I've been sewing a lot of coats/jackets lately - mostly solids, I saw this at Mood and just had to get it. With solid pants and shirt, this will be the focal point of my outfit.
What are you most proud of?
The top stitching and buttonholes. Also, I'm finding that I'm simply getting better at sewing something that looks professional.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Take it slow,
