A travel-ready ensemble
Christine Jonson Travel Trio One - 1204 (CJPatterns.com)
As its name indicates, this semi-fitted ensemble designed for knits is ideal for travel. Distinguishing details on the top include a draped, wrap V-neckline, and slight bell sleeves on the wrap jacket front. The pants have princess seams down front and back and a shapely 2 1/2-inch-wide yoke. The pant yoke front and back are notched only at teh waistline seam. Once this seam is sewn, trimmed, and turned right-side out, there is no indication which is front and back, so our tester recommends marking them before assembly to avoid a mix-up. The pattern includes a "Perfect Sizing" worksheet to help you choose the correct size to make by comparing the pattern size, desired ease, body measurements, and chosen fabric. The pieces are quick to assemble yet look elegant when finished. (Sized XS-XL [4-22] for busts 30.5-48 in. and hips 33-50 in.)
