Made a coat dress at the beginning of January. Didn't like it...like...intensely. Even if I did address the fit issues, the big problem, for me, was that I did not like how the collar was constructed--unless it's a motorcycle jacket, I like my collar and lapels to be more connected than that.
I do have plans for a patchwork project that uses scraps of the fabric, but I didn't want to turn the whole thing into scraps, because I do like the fabric! And I bought the buttons just for that project, which is something I almost never do (my stash is expansive, except, apparently, for ¾" black buttons.) I let the coat dress hang on the closet door in here while I made the patchwork cat jacket, and considered my options. "Skirt" was quickly considered and abandoned, because I realized I could make it into a jumper!
I'm not sure if I have properly conveyed just how much I like jumpers, because I know I haven't made very many of them over the years, but I do really like them, and have since the 1990s. In fact, I had a copy of the pattern I used for this project--McCall's 7812--in the late '90s, and used it a few times. I remembered it so fondly that I decided to re-acquire a copy a few years ago.
I finally cut the tissue for view A and here we are
