SweaterSkirt

Much like the aforementioned "Sweaterdress", this skirt was made from a thrift-store sweater. The torso of an over-sized men's sweater was in great shape and the natural lines of the knit almost resemble pleats the way they hang. It required little more than to cut off the sleeves and neckline, sew the front button closure closed, and add a waistband. Very comfortable for the office!

Coral Jacket: Complete :)

Hard to believe the hardest part of this whole piece was the front welt pocket, which required two tries.
The fabric was great to work with, and the pattern came together very easily. The shoulders, which I assumed would be 'somewhat' poofy were actually really REALLY poofy, and required some alterations to bring them down to a more manageable size so that I didn't resemble a linebacker quite so much.
Overall, very happy with the results.
