Jacket & Skirt in my favorite color 🧡

Sometimes you save a pattern for the right occasion, 

or when you are up to try it, and this was the right moment.

I bought 2 meter of the orange denim with stretch, and wantet to make a short jacket, 

but since I had enough fabric to make a skirt as well, so I did!

I can tell, there was not much scrap after I had cut all the pieces..

I started with stitching all the front parts together,

and then the back parts.

The shoulder- and the side seams are stitched.

Then the collar and the facing are stitched in place.

I stitched around the collar, and I also stitched in the seamline for the peplum, 

so the facing should stay in place. 

The cuffs are stitched to the sleve hem, and the sleeves are stitched in place. 

I was wearing my new jacket for the first time in my friend's party!

The Maxi Dress is an earlier make :)

I have used patent-buttons for the jacket.

Then I started sewing the skirt 🧡

The pleats are stitched in place,

and the darts at the back.

I have used lining for the side-pockets.

The skirt has a split at the back.

I had to use an exposed zipper, since I didn't have an orange one that fit.

The outfit is ready for a city-tour :)
