Sewing!

I bought this plaid earlier today for two reasons; it was on sale for $4 a yard (it's poly) and it looks ridiculous close to this:



I need to make this dress...

A modern jacket

I know the picture isn't the best but it does bring out the colors well.  I've had this fleece in the fabric stash for a while and wasn't sure quite what to do with it.  Originally, it was going to be a coat for my brother.  However, I think it looks much better as a jacket for me.  

I made it this morning and wore it all day.  It's comfortable and drapes well.   I might make the shoulder straps bigger and re-configure the back neckline slightly if I make another, but overall, I'm happy with it.  It's warm!!!
