Current Project : Spring Affair Outfit

So for you guys, this will be my first sewing project that will materialize magically (snicker) in front of your eyes, but will be the fifth and sixth garments I've constructed. In my entire lifetime. If all goes well, I plan to wear this to a local high-profile fashion show to support my cousin who is one of the featured designers, at only 17 years old! (God-given gifts are not relative to age, race or creed!) So without further ado, here is what will be the Spring Affair

New Look 6099 

Tailored wide lapel blazer will be in a mauve color cotton blend with black lace trim. If you look closely, the pockets have faux zippers on them which I will be doing without. I'm going for a softer, feminine look and that element would ruin it for me.

Paired with

Sew Simple 1833

in a multi floral print on cotton with browns, reds, lavender and of course pinks!

The inspiration behind the jacket is a lovely little number my cousin designed and then wore on Easter sunday, so I found it only fitting to honor her on her big day. The decision to pair them with shorts was the on-a-whim part, but I'm going with it.  

Stay tuned for a sneak peek pic of the fabric and a poll on shoes and jewelry!

I can't wait to see my vision come together!

As Breezy says,

Deuces!!
