I've been thinking about making something similar. Love it!
I would have to take 3 inches OFF the length!

Nice suit. This might sound like a silly question, but what is a coverstitch?
Lashell | Homepage | 01.04.08 - 10:21 am | #

Wow what a fabulous outfit. I find it particularly hard to find wonderful active wear pattern that don't look frumpy yet fit my ample thighs. Guess it will have to wait until I learn how to make pants :O)

This is very cute! I am glad to hear that the Kwik Sew patterns are well-drafted as I have some in my pattern stash that I am planning to try in 2008. Happy New Year!

Beautiful work, love it! I would be one of the ones that would have to cut down 3 inches off the legs though... lol

I have that fur vest. *sigh* But I don't have that lounge wear. Hint...hint.

Terrific results! I have that pattern, too, but haven't made it yet. I will now!

Erica - thanks for the great review. I, along with the poster Meg, would love to know how you carve out time for sewing and a busy life? If you have any secrets you can share, this would be wonderful! Maybe an article for Pattern Review or even one of your blog entries. I work full time in HR and unfortunately find that time is "not by own" even when I come home in the evenings - and have other demands too. There has to be a better way to maximize time and you do a great job at. : ) Thanks!!!!!!!

I'm emerging from lurkdom to say wow! You did a fantastic job on your outfit. Love it!!!
Wendy in CA | 01.05.08 - 12:59 am | #

This is chic, this is elegant, yet it's lounge wear!! Wow, Erica, it's fabulous!

Okay, see now I'm officially in the I Hate Erica B fan club. Why is it that when you wear velour it looks classy and sophisticated? When I put it on I look like a reject from a 1970s porn movie? Just tell me that, okay. That looks absolutely fabulous, and would be ideal for running around with the little guy, but still looking nice.

Love the shoes, too!!!! I want some "cool" track shoes instead of my crummy jogging shoes. Great choice!!!!!!
Meg | Homepage | 01.07.08 - 4:09 pm | #

That is one great outfit! Reminds me of Gabrielle in Desperate Housewives.

I love your outfit, Erica! Any suggestions on where to find stretch cotton velour fabric (other than Birmingham, AL)?
