So in complete contrast to a very very long slow project is this - cut out a week or two ago, but sewn together last night and this afternoon.
Front, collar and sleeves: Jalie 2919. (And my assistant. Can't do much without his input.)
Back: Vogue 1061.
Nothing wrong with either pattern as they stood, but I never wore my Vogue one - turns out I don't like cardigans which can only be worn closed. I gave it to a friend, who looks a lot better in it than I did anyway, so we're both happy! 
I thought I recognized the back of the coat. What a good idea to combine them. I can see that the beaded top will be while coming. I admire your patience and commitment to this project.
ReplyDeleteWow! I had never even looked at the back of the Vogue because the front view wouldn't be something I'd pick. I like your combination look.
ReplyDeleteLiking this a lot! Just like we talked about when that Vogue pattern first came out. I always thought the Vogue back and front just didn't gel, but your combo fixes the vogue front perfectly.
