However, never one to be dissuaded by a move, and propelled forward by some odd sewing obsession, I WAS able to pack up a modern suit pattern wtih fabric into my air freight. Despite the fact that it isn't a costume, I think I'll put my progress on this site. Here's the pattern that will be made up in a gorgeous raw silk suiting in a dusty cream/rose weave. I got the fabric last weekend during the President's Day sale at G-street fabrics. I got everything for the outfit (lining, ribbon, fabric, zippers, etc) for $115!! I'm making view B of the pattern (the purple one) without the fringe.

I can't believe you! Do you have the suiting already, and why did I not know about this?!?! It's going to look gorgeous on you :)
Oh, also, which veiw are you doing?
Hey Anna!! I updated the blog to put more info in. :) I noticed the pattern in the new Simplicity catalog, and mentioned it to my mom. The pattern showed up in the mail the next week from her! :) It's not too hard to rationalize spending $100 on a suit that I'll wear to work versus a costume, so this project is guilt free!
Looks very cool!
