This black and white cotton print fabric (it feels like a linen blend perhaps?) is going to be a blazer using the same blazer pattern that I made using a thrifted blazer awhile back that I used to make my chambray blazer. Gingermakes actually found this fabric and bought the same fabric in an orange/red. Copying is the best form of flattery right? It subtly reminds me of kente cloth without being too blatant.
Since it was a black and white print I thought that it would be fun to use a bright color for the lining. I am going with this yellow/green lining that I found at Mood fabrics. I actually already cut this fabric out and will hopefully have a jacket to show you by the end of the month. I am pretty excited about this one.
I have definitely had blazers on the mind lately. I love a pregnant woman in a structured blazer. Plus it is something I can wear after the baby is born too. I fell in love with the new fashion star angled jacket pattern and when I saw this aztec inspired linen I knew it would be that jacket right away. I am still waiting for the pattern to get here in the mail. (sorry it's so wrinkly, I just washed it so it needs a good ironing)

That is all I got. I had a really hard time making decisions. It was so overwhelming. I should be good for a little while, but am excited to go again soon!
