Butterick B5045---Love this Jacket for Comfort and Grace
Shorten the jacket for different looks
Tonight I am making some different color cardigans...Red, Orange, Teal, Navy Blue Eyelet, Beige Gauze and different lengths...
The Navy blue eyelet was a smaller piece so I had to shorten it by 9 inches to fit on the piece of material. The lengths in this pattern - long is good for a floor length dress jacket. 4 inches made it good with pants, so I will try the 9 inch shorter to see if that is long enough to disguise my back view and still give the elongated front of the jacket. I will sew this one first, then the teal, red, orange, and beige. The hardest part for me is making me cut them out. The navy one is cut out. I will make the earrings, then I will sew the eyelet cardigan. Seemed to work... got a couple of compliments on the eyelet.
Not enough fabric for the sleeves had to band them with the raggy selvage out..? something different!
I have a drape neck shirt that I have cut the front piece out and I just have to do the sleeves and back and back neck facing. If I sew these two items, that is an outfit for tomorrow. If I sew the red gauze jacket, I can wear that with my black white and red dress - Friday Night. If I do the Beige one, I can wear that with the black and Beige silk shirt and pants-Saturday. Soooooooooo, here goes....
