I'm going to make it in this fantastic double faced wool jersey in brown/tan.
It's sold out, sorry, but I still have it's Sister Fabric in Blue/Navy. I really love the contrast colors for this pattern. I've been trying to find a good pattern for this fabric, and this looks like a real winner!
I'm hoping to have this made up by the weekend so I can look ever so chic while stringing Christmas lights. Gotta look good while stringing Christmas lights, right?
The other piece that I have fallen completely in love with is this cape:
How fabulous is that? And how fabulous will it be in this double-sided raincoating fabric?
The color isn't showing up true on my monitor. This is olive green with a copper iridescent undertone. It's really gorgeous. I'll try to have that done before Christmas. I'll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, I have to prep a muslin for a Chanel-style jacket. Susan Khalje is holding a Sit and Sew at the Gorgeous Fabrics "atelier" in two weekends. There are 12 people signed up. I'm really psyched - I know many of them, but there are several whom I've never met and I'm looking forward to meeting them!
To top it off, Thanksgiving is this week in the US. We're going to my sister's house. She's making the turkey and a ham. I'm bringing a whole slew of sides and desserts. I'm thinking of something unusual for dessert. Maybe a coconut cream pie instead of the traditional pumpkin. Time to do some research.
More later... Happy sewing!

Great garments from Burda and the sit-in sew at your place, such fun.
I am making an apple cake for dessert for Thanksgiving.
I'm smitten with this issue too. I particularly like #122 (skirt with back flounce and fly front), #134 (hoodie for my husband), and #115 (pants with curves side seam).
I've already traced skirt 112, which is apocalyptic speed for me. Currently choosing fabric!
I love that cape Ann! Its very you.
Wait... why don't I remember this cape? LOL. I was kind of bored with it. But, I think I need to give it a second glance.
The fabric looks perfect for that tunic. And I'm all about looking cute while decorating. :)
There is a lot to like in this issue! I love the hooded tunic you've shown, I'm intrigued by the cape, but probably don't need another jacket/coat of that type, and love the shorter corduroy skirt with the partial flounce, plus a lot of other things.
