The brown plaid pant suit is complete! I actually finished the pants and hat almost two weeks ago. The pants is Simplicity S2315. I've used this pattern twice before. So I won't review the pattern again. You can read the initial review here.
The hat is another view of Vogue 8403. There was enough fabric leftover to make a hat. So I did. Lately, I'm trying to make use of as many remnants and scraps from previous projects. I have a really tough time tossing out pieces that are a half yard or more.
This hat was really fun to make. I completed it while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. So, it took less than two hours to make. I changed a few of the construction steps. Nothing earth shaking. It was a matter of taking my time with the stitching and pressing as needed.
I enjoyed the process and will probably make at least one more view of this hat pattern.
Happy Sewing!

The whole outfit turned out great! I wonder why more people don't sew hats. I mean, almost everyone needs a hat at some point to protect from summer sun, winter chill, rain, etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Just Gail. I thought it would be good to use the scraps for something useful.
DeleteThank you for sharing! I won't be doing any sewing in the near future, but you always inspire me to dream and to be creative.

DeleteVery cute hat and you look sweet in it. Nice suit too, you do really good sewing work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie. I love the whole creative process and hope to get better with every garment.
DeleteThe fit of the jacket and slacks is lovely. Very nice job. Hoping next year I can make a suit and have a place to wear it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose.
DeleteSo so nice! It looks office ready and the hat is a winner.
