As much as I like this pretty border print, I'm glad I tried it first, because as it turns out the pattern does need just a bit of tweaking.
It's from the book Sewing in a Straight Line.
In the book they use a T-knit and either I didn't read the directions right or something's not quite right, because the front panels are just way to narrow. So, instead of adding bias tape to finish the front seam I ended up using some lace seam tape to add just a bit more width and interest.

It's cute and very boho I think. It's quite a bit more colourful than anything else in my closet so it's a good departure for me. Sometimes it's a good thing to step out of our comfort zones~

Very cute! I always love to see what people think of patterns I've been wanting to try. Good to know about the lapel!
