With the weather warming up, my thoughts are turning to sewing for my spring/summer wardrobe. I wanted to use two fabrics that I bought from John Lewis last autumn, a navy chambray and this cotton lawn which John Lewis have called Blotchy floral……..surely they could have thought of something a little more charming!
The jacket is New Look 6028 and a blatant copy of an ideal by fellow blogger Camilla over at Making and Marking, to turn back the sleeves to reveal the lining.
I decided not to line the sleeves completely with the cotton lawn, mainly because I wanted to keep back enough fabric to make a little shell top.
My son has just given me The Great British Sewing Bee Fashion with Fabric book for a Mothers Day present so I am about to up my feet up and enjoy a good read!

I think it’s a great idea to not use all of the fabric for the lining! How clever!
