the next challenge:

Butterick B5500 is my next project:

 I will be making the jacket pictured in the center.  Using this beautiful fabric:



The photo does not do this fabric justice.   The fabric is very dark navy, almost black with tiny flowers in a lighter blue thread woven all over.  I also have two velvet ribbons, of which I plan to use one as a trim somewhere on the jacket.  The wider ribbon is a dark navy and the narrower ribbon is a bright blue that exactly matches the threads in the embroidery.

I will try to get a better shot of the fabric in natural light tomorrow.

One can hope for a sew day, oh, I mean, snow day tomorrow, right?
