Trend Spring 2012 color blocking
Plumbing issues are keeping any progress on the jackets at bay, but here are some really interesting color blocking ideas from Net-a-Porter. These are a terrific use of fabrics that you loved but don't have enough left over to make anything from.
Preen has a stretch satin body and jersey sleeves, the Giambattista top is actually a knit but can be made up in practically any fabric.
Elizabeth and James - Silk Chiffon
DVF - Silk Crepe
Victoria Beckham - Jersey
Chloe - Silk Crepe
So get back to that stash and see what leftovers you have, they're not just for stuffing small sewing projects.

The front sleeve on 8804 is on a slight bias. There are hand-sewn darts on the back lining to "shrink" out some of the fullness.
Thank you for reviewing my patterns.
