An Anoraks jacket is on my list of "must make". Marie Claire featured this jacket in their February 2008 issue. Oprah Winfrey is also pictured on a recent issue of "O" magazine sporting an anorak.
McCall's 5635 fits the bill.
Also featured in Maire Claire..., Shirtdresses. They seem to be all the rage. I have a few pattern options in my collection. Vogue recently published the sassy shirtdress (V1048) this season and several fashionistas have added it to their list of dresses to make this spring.
I hvae that same McCall's pattern pulled out. I'm waiting on the perfect fabric, and I'm working on a shirt dress this weekend! Can't wait to finish it up!
ReplyDeleteLove the anorak look--I almost bought the metallic linen one that J. Jill featured this spring. Then I remembered, "umm, you sew? MAKE the anorak, will ya?" Unfortunately spring is mighty quick here, so it'll be a fall project.
ReplyDeleteI also love the shirtdress look, and that will definitely be one I'll be working this spring and summer.
Oh I want an anorak, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Michelle Obama, too. She does dress the best out of all the women we see out there.
Though I'll give it to Hillary, too. I am liking her bright outfits.
Gotta pass along this honor- you get an E for Excellence for your blog!!
A Little Sewing on the Side - I agree that Hillary as upped her "cute quotient" these days. She is right on target with the color palette with the fashion trends. Thank you for the honor. Although I think I'm far from it.
ReplyDeleteThe Vogue pattern is fierce.. I have yet to try a vogue pattern, looking forward to your dress. Thank you for the lovely comment on by blouse.
