This set almost took me out but it was soooo worth it in the end. I purchased both pieces of fabric over a year ago but wasn't sure what I wanted to make with them then so they went into my stash. When I set off on my linen play project I decided it was time to use this beautiful "Linen Look" fabric and I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with it.<br />

Like the fabric, I purchased this pattern the moment it came out but kept it in my pattern stash for the perfect set..... This was it!<br />

The shirt pattern was definitely an after thought but I knew it would pair perfectly with the idea I had in my head for the pants ......<br />

I love how this set came out but the top was definitely a doozie. The pattern itself was very easy to put together but the fabric was definitely a challenge to work with! The first time I put the top together I put the sleeves on backward so I had to redue it ALL!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second time it came together and fit much better.</div>
