Ooh, I forgot I got this in the grab-bag of patterns. Though, will I ever wear a wool blazer? (Mind you, my wardrobe is mostly t shirt and cargo pants, the Hawaiian shirts are formal for me....) #sewing

That blazer would be pretty nice and comfortable, made with linen ($$$), twill, or from a used bedsheet. Think of it as cargo pants for the upper body, with all of the roomy pockets.

@EllenInEdmonton@mstdn.ca I need to look through the random-pile-of-exteremely-cheap-but-random-colored Joanns clearance fabric I have... My problem is definitely fabrics selection.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Well, start with whatever you have on hand, while you experiment with new patterns and techniques. If you hate the end result, it was just a learning experience. OTOH, if you love it, you have something you can happily wear, as well as a Tried'n'True pattern to reuse in the future.
