When I went to the ASG Conference in San Francisco in July 2024 I signed up for the fabric shopping trip on the day after the conference. We went to three stores and I was prepared to shop. Before leaving home, I printed out the cover of different patterns I wanted to make and then added a post-it note with the type of fabric and required yardage.

Our first stop was Stonemountain and Daughter Fabrics. Oh so many luscious fabrics! I made sure to stick with my shopping list as I have bought fabrics before that caught my eye but then when I went to make something, I never had the right amount. I didn't want to waste my money that way again. To be sure I wouldn't forget what fabric went with which pattern, I took a quick photo with my phone after they cut the fabric. This was especially helpful as it was going to be shipped to my house and I wouldn't see it again for about a week.

This pattern has an interesting side panel under the arm. It was a little tricky putting it together but her directions are excellent. When I did go to wear it, I found the armhole a bit snug. If I make this again I will scoop it out a bit. Lots of hand sewing of all the facings but it does look nice inside and out. Might try the flutter sleeve next time also.
