In addition to the McCall's jacket noted in my earlier post from this AM, I wore the dress I made from the same fabric. You can see the two here on AlmaMarie. I actually made this jacket and dress in Oct.'07! Wow-it is going on 4 years old! The dress is a Vogue pattern and I made a second dress in wool crepe from that pattern.
The fabric is an embossed polyester that looks like a skin or leather of some sort. I actually saw this same fabric in a beautiful blue color about a year ago and now I wish I had purchased it. I acquired this from a store called Schoolhouse Fabrics in Floyd, VA.
Interestingly, the same jacket has shown up in a Simplicity pattern that I acquired last year. The dress shown with that jacket is a nice sheath style dress.
Today I did not wear anything that I made, but my plans for tomorrow include a top and skirt that I made recently. More later.
