Striped Inspiration!

I was inspired by a contest I saw on PatternReview.com, but unfortunately the contest was ending in less than 48 hours and I was unable to finish it before the close.

I wanted to make the matching skirt, but had barely enough fabric in my fabric stash for the jacket (I might make this again with a fabric that has a few more colors in it).  Matching the stripes with so little fabric was tough!

It wasn't until I enlarged the inspiration photo that I realized it was covered in zippers!  I like my version without all the zippers better anyway.



"RTW/Designer Knockoff Contest" Rules     
Have you been inspired by some of the current � or not so current style trends? Is your Pinterest board- or your real live inspiration board- filled with pictures of garments you would love to own but either can�t afford or can�t find? Then the RTW (Ready To Wear)Contest is the contest for you!

Create a garment inspired by one that you have seen. The inspiration item can be from a Ready-To-Wear line, from the runway, or any other garment you have seen worn or pictured.

The garment must clearly be inspired by the original piece. It does not have to be, but can be, an exact copy. List changes you have made and what features you have kept.

Review requirements: A picture of the inspiration piece and your finished garment must both be included; they can be put into the same picture.
