I wrote last year about the garment-sewing book Everyday Style by Lotta Jansdotter and I'm continuing to use it now and again to make various pieces of clothing.
One thing I made at the end of last year is the 'Pilvi' jacket/coat and I've worn it lots of times since. It's turned out to be a very useful summer layer. In the book, this design is made up in crisp cotton drill (the jacket version) and in thick wool (as a coat) and looks beautiful but I knew I wouldn't have much use for a coat that doesn't fasten.
So I made my Pilvi in some rayon crepe in a dark purple-charcoal colour and it's sort of like a loose and drapey cardigan to wear over dresses and tops. I cropped it a bit and the sleeves are 3/4 length.
Love it when I'm able to make something that is simple and useful! Might even make a second one, in a different colour.
