I’ve been wanting to put more things into my wardrobe to wear under suit jackets, and when shopping my pattern stash for ideas for this month, I came upon this Coordinates set. The pretty pink jacket on the pattern cover was an eye-grabber. I am really not a fan of the type of dress in View C, and need another skirt pattern like a hole in the head, but the tank top was worth a go.

I used a flimsy hot-pink crepe fabric that was in my stash. I honestly can’t remember when I acquired it or from where. It was pretty good to work with, and a lovely colour. I sort of wish I’d laid it out for a bias cut on the body pieces (not the yoke) so it would drape a little more softly around the body.
