It’s early in the new year and chances are your pre-spring sewing plans are in full swing. But if you are still looking for inspiration, Mood Fabrics has you covered! Florals, unsurprisingly tend to dominate the runways each season but what felt new and fresh for SS22 was matching floral ensembles. Matching prints can be a bit tricky but with a few fabric suggestions and free patterns, I’m sure I can help you put together a winning look!
For a pretty lady-like matching set, try a skirt and jacket combination in a large-scale floral print. This ensemble was made using Mood’s free Avelia Bomber Jacket pattern in stretch cotton sateen. A simple elastic waist skirt in a fluid rayon/linen blend completes this look! Both pieces were made using matching prints from the Mood Exclusive “Vision of Romance” collection.
The Avelia Bomber Jacket is great for layering and will transition into spring really well. The solid black rib-knit works nicely as a contrast against the floral print. Together with the flowy elastic waist skirt, you have a well-balanced look that takes matching florals to the next level.
