The Traveler Lisette -Simplicity 2246 Finished
I won't keep you in suspense any longer....I chose the pink.

Tada!!
This used a package of the wider double fold bias tape by Wrights (3 yards). I cut the bias tape in half to reduce the bulk, and to increase yardage. In the end it was used on both sides of the front placket.

Inside hem


Sleeve seam allowance (mock Hong Kong finish)

There were plenty of areas for pattern matching (which turned out to be a challenge).
The center front placket both on the inside and outside pieces, and of course the pocket.
The printing wasn't perfect on this fabric, it wasn't perfectly square with a slight wave to the pattern about 7" in from selvage on one side. So matching could have been a lot worse. This is something to consider if you have a project where the matching needs to be perfect, check this out on your fabric before you cut into it.
I think this is why I have mostly solids in my fabric stash.
