This one was easy, even though it's not the most artful or attractive image...
This photo shows part of my company's corporate logo, a window decal on the door to Manufacturing. The jagged edge across the top is part of the logo too, so I didn't crop it out. I have always like the way the light plays off the diamond shapes of the privacy panel on the door. I thought it would be fun to use this image for today's ODT and ODC!
We provide data storage solutions for a wide range of customers, from small companies to military applications. Our main focus is on "simplicity"...!
From our Mission Statement:
"Data storage needs continue to expand. Servers have proliferated. Power, cooling, space and budgets are strained. Existing equipment has been stretched to the end of their useful lives and beyond by the difficult economy – but are still expected to deliver non-stop 24x7 dependability in their environment. Virtualization of both servers and storage are now real. The large storage vendors still command large prices. The result is that storage architectures threaten to become more complex and expensive – and decisions continue to become more difficult.
Our answer is to deliver the best overall value: simplicity, performance and economy."
It's just that simple. :-)

Date Completed: 26th December, 2013
Pattern: Simplicity 2226
Fabric: Bridgetown in Starfruit, part of the Waterfront Park collection by Violet Craft bought at Hawthorne Threads.
Inspiration: Haha this is a long story.
1) Original inspiration is a Gorman skirt from SS 2011/2012 - cotton, midi, mustard and featured a bold cheetah print. Love at first sight. Except that it was $289. Even pre-baby and debt free, I balked at the price. And then it sold out before I had the chance to try it on.
2) Some months (maybe a year) later, I saw an Alexander Henry print Kewende which was in the same vein but instead featured zebras. After much procrastination, by the time I decided to purchase it and make my own skirt, the "gold" colourway was sold out.
3) Then I saw this little girls skirt by Probably Actually, which is a long way from points 1 and 2 but there IS a common thread - the colour, and the whimsical element.
Comments: As I had said previously when I made the toile way back when, this skirt is ultra puffy when viewed from the side and back due to the gathering on the back of the skirt. Despite knowing this, I decided to make this anyway because I wanted skirt with pockets which hits below the knee, and couldn't be bothered looking for a new pattern.
Extra ease pinched up in back and collar and bow smoothed out a bit. I also think it's relatively hard for that front to lie flat on a normal person, with only one button. Adding a few more buttons would probably serve this design well.

I really liked the idea of this pattern. It's nice to have something that's easy to care for, made of fleece but doesn't look like you just walked out of the gym. The pattern has 4 jacket versions and a (rather hideous) vest option. I've never sewn with fleece before so I bought some less expensive mint colored fleece and a slightly more expensive fleece in a deep plum shade. My plan was to sew my second choice jacket designs with the green to get my feet wet with fleece, before cutting into the purple fabric.
I don't hate the end result but it's definitely not as nicely designed as I would have liked. My biggest issues are that it's just plain fussy to put on, the collar is a single, unfaced layer and rolls if it's not laying just so, the little accent bow does the same thing. The inner facings are all over the place. You really have to put it on and check that everything is in order instead of just tossing the jacket on and going.
My other issue is that the cross back measurement is too wide for my taste, by probably a full 2"/5cm. Jackets are generally cut like this to give room for layering, but I'm a hussy and wear mostly slim fitting clothing. On me, the shoulder seams fall off my shoulders and the look is a little sloppy.
The other thing to be aware of, which has more to do with my crappy skills than the pattern, is you really need to know which seams will be unfinished in the final product so you don’t cut those edges like you were a few sheets to the wind before you started. Fleece isn’t very forgiving in that sense.
I may still sew the other version of this jacket that I like a little better. If I do, I'll narrow the front and back pieces, mid shoulder (so I don't have to monkey with the fit of the collar or sleeves) and I may find a better way to keep the inner facings in line. I'm not an expert enough seamstress to go too crazy with mods but I think the pattern is salvageable.

Sadly, I would wear this. As streetwear.
I love the blue one with the red apron. I'd do narrower sleeves, though.
