Hi friends, I am super ecstatic to be a Fabric Mart Fabricista, if you know me, you know I love everything floral, so when it came time to choose my fabric I chose this beautiful Floral Print Stretch Twill Suiting. Now this fabric is so luxurious and had the perfect drape and a little stretch for comfort.
For what to make I knew I wanted to make a pant suit and so chose Simplicity 8749 and I made view A and C.
The making of this suit went really well except I didn't make the welt pocket, for some reason I can never get the welt pocket to turn out right, and so I made a flat pocket and placed it where the welt was supposed to be placed.
This is actually my second time making this suiting, the first time, I cut a size 16, but the lockdown has gotten the best of my body, I found myself cutting the size 18.
The fabric sews very well and putting the blazer together was pretty quick. I lined it with a Dark Cerulean Pongee Lining.
The pants, this time although I love the fit, but the legs could be a little tapered, it felt loose on the leg, my worst nightmare has always been sewing the front fly on pants, this time I sew beautifully, I am usually sewing it and undoing it, and it usually takes me at least two trials, this time it was a breeze. They do say "Practice makes perfect ".
Thinking about it now I think I will add about 5 3 more inches to the pants next time as the pants was a little short for me.
Unfortunately Fabric Mart Fabrics sell out quickly!
You can find similar fabrics in our SUITING category.
Your finishes are stunning. The taper and fit of the pants is lovely.

DeleteThat pants length is very in style right now and I like how they are fitted. I also have a big hip waist size difference and have trouble fitting clothes properly. I am very impressed
