I made a quick jacket and pants combo for me! Jacket is Loes Hinse Paris (seminar pattern) and pants are LH Cruise pants. The pants are my first go at this pattern--not bad right from the envelope. The jacket is slightly restyled by Loes from last fall's version. The fabrics were both in my stash--the Gray Lady for the jacket from Nancy Erickson and only aged a couple of months. The pants fabric is of unknown origin and a rayon/poly/lycra mix. Both sewed up quite easily and I am looking forward to having a few new pieces for work next week. I guess it's only for me as this will be a new staff and thus everything is "new" so to speak!
The wind is howling here--we kept our middle DGS last night and he ended up in our bed, afraid of the noises in the house caused by the wind.
I hope to make a few more things this week--maybe I will even finish the Chanel type jacket I put away last month! Or not, we'll see how my patience and enthusiasm match :>)

Great new garments. Good luck on finishing the Chanel type jacket.
Wonderful looking outfit.
I truly love this style and should add some of these patterns to my collection.
Beautiful outfit. The fabrics are really nice together.
Elegant and professional! It is fun to have something new to wear.
I always enjoy your Loes Hinse ensembles Lyn, and this new Paris jacket and pant is super. Just got the April newsletter last night, and see that she will have that jacket pattern out soon and a full tweak how-to for jackets.
