Cashmerette Upton skirt hack and Butterick 5529 jacket

Hi there!  I want to share with you what I’ve made recently.  You’ve seen my Upton dress here and Butterick 5529 jacket here.  Well, I’ve “hacked” the Upton using Jenny’s hack, you can find the instructions on the hack here.

I didn’t make any changes, but I should have.  Jenny talks about how to adjust the fit for the skirt and well, I didn’t do that.  Actually I intended to make the Upton dress and didn’t like the fabric I chose after completing it for the bodice so last minute I decided to make the skirt.

I really like this fabric, I purchased it from FabricMart and it’s a digital printed stretch poly.  I thought a dress or suit would be too much, but I love it.  I love the shades of green.  Overall a good make
