My latest project was simplicity 2662.
This is a project runway pattern and i was plesantly surprised to find how easy it was. The instructions were very easy to read and this project came together very quickly. Inside you will find 1 jacket, pants, tunic and dress. 
Now on to the review
Pattern: Simplicity 2662
Fabric Used: Wool Boluce from Joann Fabrics Rivera spring collection
Interfacing used: Tricot Fusible from Pellon at Joanns
Machine Used: Serger and Standard
Size: 26W - 32W
Alterations: I stitched the 26W and took it in on the side seams about 2 inches. I should of sewn the 24W instead of the 26W. Next time i will interface where the pleats are to provide some support.
Instructions: Very Easy!!! There weren't any crazy twists and turns. i have had bad project runway instructions and i was very happy to see that these were easy to understand.
Fit: The jacked is a relaxed fit. The jacket fits a little on the large size and i do belive that for large bust women this may not be a great jacket closed. Open i think it will be great with jeans and turtleneck, or a skirt and turtleneck.
Will i make it again? Yes but i may line the jacket, even though the instrcutions do not call for it. and may interface the boluce to add some stiffness.
Summary: This is a great jacket. For sure this will be a TNT that i will use when my mojo is on the low. and i will sew it again , i can see this jacket in lambskin leather...yummy! off to Banachs for some leather!
