Patrones Coat
Then I saw this fabulous Cashmere Print, and I've been thinking about it ever since. I've gone back and forth and right now I'm forth. The big problem is that I can't decide on a pattern that would do it justice. Here is the sort of thing I'm thinking of, but I worry that the two Vogue patterns are dated, and the Simplicity is more of a jacket, which is fine, but I'm not sure I'd do it for the Sew-Along.

I'm leaning toward the swing coat slightly, and away from the Issey Miyake coat, but I am by no means wedded to anything yet.

There's also a Marfy pattern that would be great, but it would need a contrast, and I'm not sure I can get one easily, or in time. I would think the darker color would be what I'd want, and it would have to be an exact match.

The Simplicity appeals because of the bias peplum, which would show off the print very nicely.

Anyway, I'm going to have to make a decision about the Sew Along pretty soon whether I do the cashmere or not.

Ohhh I love that first Patrones coat!
Well I can see your dilemma. That cashmere print is fabulous!
Hi, Liana
I am leaning toward either the Issey Miyake or Vogue 7322. I love the look of swing coats, and you are advanced enough to take out that extra 80's shoulder room. The fabric is beautiful.
I lost my sewing mojo, and now, when it is starting back I can't sew; accidently sliced the top of my index finger while washing on of our new Furi knives. It seemed as if I just tapped the top of the index finger of my right hand (don't know how as I use a long handled scrub brush) but the cut is nearly an inch long and I partially severed the tendon--am seeing a specialist Monday. Those knives are sharp! I have some casual events coming up and "have nothing to wear".
The Miyake coat would be glorious in that fabric, and I can picture you in it- elegance with flair! I also love the Patrones coat, and I just saw Marji is considering Patrones as well. I have never tried their patterns, but they look fantastic.
The Patrones is fabulous - that is the one that appeals to me out of all of them. I'm going to have to guess that is due to my height - I'm assuming you're much taller than I am and can pull off any of those other coats with grand style.
I had to peek at the cashmere - so gorgeous! I think it would look fabulous made up as the Miyake and not dated at all.
Aren't Miyakes just plain classic? I think your cashmere would look really great in that pattern.
I vote for the Issey--never out of style, imho. Sally
