RTW/Designer Knockoff Contest -- Calvin Klein Tweed and Ponte Blocked Inspired Suit.

All fabric and notions (red tweed, camel ponte, buttons, zipper, and lining) were from my stash, with the exception of the grosgrain ribbon in the skirt (I raided a friends stash).

Changes made to the pattern: I didn't like the look of the grosgrain ribbon on the jacket, so I omitted it.

I didn't really use the instructions (bad habit), but it works for me.

I am thrilled with my finished project!
