burda 7401

Here is Burda 7401.  I  made this a while ago  but I have been wearing it  a lot lately.  I used some 100% linen I bought from Fashion Fabric.com  a long time ago.  I bought it because the color was what i was looking for and it was only $3.95 a yard.  It was not very good quality>  I should have known that for that price it would be mediocre.   I love to wear this color with jeans so I thought it turned out okay.  The coat you can see hanging  on the right of this picture  is a vintage coat I found on e-bay for $7.00  Love it  ... i will leave that to another post....

This pattern was a lot like the vest I posted a while ago.  It has pockets on the sides which I sewed shut because they were really droopy...the fabrics fault.  The sleeves are just rolled up to make it really casual. 

Here you can see the back peplum.  It is cut on the bias which makes it hang  great.  All in all it was pretty easy to make .
