Summer Sewing Challenge - Express Yourself in Linen

Indigo Linen Discharge Suit

Kimono style jacket of original design with princess seams, accent piping, hidden pockets,  and french cuffs.  I discharged a length of the indigo linen to make the accent fabric and used self covered buttons with machine stitchery as additional details.

 The cropped pants are based on a Sandra Betzina Vogue pattern 1050 that had a waistline idea I liked; flat front & back with elastic on side seams at waistband.  I used her waistband concept and changed the design to include: side seam pockets, crop pants with closed side seams and hem detail of a “cuff” with inverted pleat of discharged  fabric and self covered buttons as accent.

    I love the button detail! The color is also beautiful.

    I love how you made the coordinating fabric by discharging the main fabric used. I particularly like how you added the extra detail to the buttons with the stitching.
    Nice inverted pleats on the cuffs too ... and it looks very comfy. Nice work!
