I've made another Metra blazer, this time in a printed ponte knit.
For this version I made the shawl collar version as I felt that shape was more in keeping with the swirls of the stylised floral print on the fabric.
I kept the full bicep alteration and did a high round back alteration of 1 inch.
When I wore it out for lunch with a friend I wore it with blue jeans (Itch to Stitch Mountain View) and a plain aqua turtleneck (poloneck). It worked well.
I think plain coloured versions would be more versatile, but I'm trying to sew from stash and this was a suitable weight.

It looks great, Ruthie.
It's beautiful! Love those colors. Solid might be more versatile but also a little more boring. I say sew all the prints! LOL!
