When sewing for Roo, everyday wear can seem like 'frosting' given her love of color and pattern. Remember these recent additions??? She likes classic pieces zhuzhed up a notch or two! When she needed a little everyday jacket, the perfection that is the Morris Blazer, by Grainline Studio, came to mind. I have made
SEW many!!! They are comfiest when made in a fabric with a bit of stretch, like this FROSTING quality print she chose from JoAnn's. It is somewhere between a ponte and a woven with just a tad of stretch in one direction. Though not a ball gown, the explosion of color surely qualifies as the perfect frosting for her basic (if vivid pink and yellow are basic!!!) cake!!!

This has been a really fun challenge!! I got to sew AND play with my Roo! I've had a lot of fun with her recent wardrobe refurbishment I've been working on with her since the spring. We have a few bits to go, but I think we succeeded in creating pieces she really likes in regard to fit, style, and her current job/life. Piece of cake, when you sew, right??? Then, we added the colors and prints that make her happy...and STILL made them WORK!!! Now, THAT's frosting!!!!
Thanks for the inspiration ~ Roo, Heather (@closetcase.patterns) and Kelli (@truebias)!

That fabric is just fabulous! It looks great in all the ways y'all styled it.
