For the next piece in my me-made mini collection I decided to make a blazer. I chose the “Morris Blazer” from Grainline Studio. This is actually one of those things I’ve had planned (fabric and pattern together) for about two years now. But, whatever… I’m glad I got it done.

This is black ponte knit (this is a knit blazer pattern). I figured this would be a good addition to my black & white theme. I also wanted something that would be versatile.

I also wanted something that was waist-length. This pattern fit the bill on all those areas. In the pictures above I’m wearing it over the Vogue 8766 dress I made a couple of weeks ago.

And here is a more casual look.

 

This is one of those patterns I would make again with some alterations. I think this would be better for me if I went up a size. It fits as is, but I like a bit more room for wearing over tops, etc. I would also make the sleeves longer (just an inch or so). But this one is certainly wearable. Since this is a medium-weight knit, I’ll also be able to use this in the summer when it’s hot and humid outside but freezing inside.

As for my next piece, I think I will make another pair of Ginger jeans. I have some black stretch denim bought for that purpose that’s just waiting for me to cut into it…
