Just popping in on a quick break from my coat to preview the Ms Style Book that I just received in the mail last Thursday.
I haven't gone through it all yet, but as usual there is a lot of inspiration/eye candy. This one in particular caught my eye. On its face it looks like a plain jane sheath, good for throwing on at the last minute with some nice heels and a handbag and heading out to work on those "I don't have anything to wear and I'm late" days.
But look at the draft! Very interesting! Straight grain for the left panel, bias for the middle panel, and cross grain for the right panel. I can see some really cool effects with a subtly (or not-so-subtly) textured woven. Of course, a plaid or stripe or symmetrical print would really pop.
Back to the coat muslin...

3 called for a visit:
You sew? That's hot. I remember one time I thought about learning how to sew. I never got past removing the machine from its box. LOL.
wow,, mrs stylebook is a mystery to me. it always look tempting but I am not quite skilled enough to try it
@ vera - thanks for stopping by! I try to sew a little bit here and there, but spend most of my time on the internet watching other people sew! LOL!
@ toy - I'm in MSB collection mode ... maybe I'll actually draft something this year.
