...when a jacket and a skirt is made from the same fabric, do they then become a suit? For me that is usually the case, but in this situation - I think not?
I had mentioned in a past post that I had fallen in love with this pattern and mostly the print used on the pattern envelope. Folks I've been feeling a little aztec-y lately.

So I immediately started looking for a nice aztec print. Of course I could not find this exact print, but I did find one that I thought was suitable for my jacket. It's made of a nice pontederoma - one of my favorite fabrics in the whole wide world, because it's soft and so easy to work with. I seriously considered making this jacket in a sweater knit but could not make up my mind - so wishy/washy! I think the next one (and there will be a next one) will be out of a sweater knit.

But I also wanted to make a pencil skirt from the same fabric - thought it would make a wonderful addition to my Fall Wardrobe.

The print is so bold that I would
nevah consider wearing the two together. So I plan on wearing the jacket with my black skirt or pants; and the skirt with a cream colored top and black jacket. I'll be able to come up with several different combinations using the two pieces separately - which in my book is a winning situation...
