The final stitches have been completed and I now have a tweed suit that will need to find some serious outgoings to go to!!

The benefit of both of these pieces is that they will work extremely well individually with plain tops, bottoms or jackets so I have a lot of ideas running around my head at the moment.
The skirt is my Self Drafted TNT skirt pattern, with the fabric being completely fused with Superfine interfacing to help stop it from bagging from sitting as well as lining the skirt in my normal fashion with Sun Silky lining.

Unfortunately this skirt can’t be included in my SWAP plans, but that is okay as I have the perfect brown summer weight wool ready to be made into a skirt and the remainder of the silk crepe de chine that I used to quilt my jacket with for a top.
I would like to thank all of you for reading my posts this year and enjoying my journey with me and your wonderful comments that you have taken the time to share. I look forward to seeing your sewing adventures in 2014 and wish everyone a wonderful New Year and a sewfantastic 2014.

Fabulous work as always. The outfit is very flattering on you and even more wearable for being able to be split and worn as separates. The jacket would look fab with jeans too I think.

The suit is stunning Sharon. Isn't it a pity that life is so casual nowadays that it is not easy to wear such gorgeous garments. The jacket though would also work with more casual trousers, and the skirt with a nice jumper. The craftsmanshiip is once again superb. Happy New Year Sharon.
