One of my favorite colors. . .

I was just reading a great interview with Marcy Tilton, done by Sandra Betzina and presented on her website and Facebook.  Marcy mentioned her favorite color was not blue.  It started me thinking what my favorite color is, a question I would have to answer in the plural for sure.

Blue is one of those favorites, though.  I love blue so much I make categories, navy, indigo, parrot blue/teal, tropical Aqua, etc.

I mentioned before that Jo Anns had a stretch denim sale this week.  I originally was buying for those Jalie jeans(see last post), but after I got this piece home, it seemed a bit loud for my age.

Since Jo Anns had 3 for $5 Butterick patterns as well, this style caught my eye for an indigo ikat I have at home in Madison.  So, what better way to use the denim than a "muslin" for that jacket.

An easy sew. I like the lack of buttonholes/buttons, as these fabrics are a statement in and of themselves.

I cut a facing for the front instead of lining the jacket in self fabric.  Denim would have made it too heavy and I had to buy twice as much fabric just to match the outside pattern.

Meet my new dress form, Shiela.  She arrived just in time for the photo shoot, some assembly required.  Needs some padding to make her as heavy in the waist as me, but. . . . I think she looks great in my clothes.

Made the parrot blue separates, too.  Copied a shell by Chicos and the pants are last years S. Betzina one seam wonders, another fav. pant of mine, from some knit I got through M. Levine LA.  Very comfy.
