So my mojo hasn't come back but I did do some sewing this weekend. Spring has kind of put me in the mood for some new things and I really want to get my mini line started, so this weekend I decided to start with a trench jacket. I'm working on this:
It's McCall 5525.
The lining is going to be this white and navy dot polyester.
So far it is coming along great. I did a test garment but I feel I could have made it a little looser. I'm still pretty happy with the fit so far, regardless. I'm actually trying to knock of this J Crew trench.
I'm making a shorter version with longer sleeves. I hope to have it done by this weekend so I can start on my other pieces. I hope to have a completed outfit to show soon.

the j crew trench is tdf okay, I've been eyeing that one for a while, can't wait to see your progress, should be fun
You are fierce and daring.. I can't wait to see your jacket.. great color selection.
Work it out Shell!! ;o)
I'm loving the colors!
i searched for a good pattern to make a knockoff of the gayle trench myself... but didn't find one... so spent the money. i'm so sad! i mean, i LOVE my gail trench, but i wish i hadn't spent half of what i spent for it. i'm going to buy this pattern ASAP! oh, and your finished trench looks INCREDIBLE!
