I made this based on Built by Wendy (Simplicity 3835) pattern. I couldn't decide how long I want these sleeves to be, then I came up with a really good solution. I added a flap and a button on each sleeve so that they can be shorten if I want to. Clever me!
The fabric is "Checks Geranium" by Katie Jump Rope from Sew Mama Sew! in US. Love this retro print.

huh - see goose-bumps!
You are very clever with your matching of fabric to design as everything you make looks lovely on you and is always so beautifully stitched.
