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 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!
