She did!!
I managed to get it done.  Made a few changes - although I think the tabaco colored skirt would have worked better, it didn't really matter as my print was a skirt.
On Friday morning (around 10) I started cutting.  I only used 1 pattern I had used before.  Kwik Sew 2948 out of a brushed creamy white ribbed knit.  I made a sleeveless turtleneck.  That top was finished this morning.
The other 2 pieces which were cut out yesterday were Kwik Sew 2845, view B.  I justed used a size medium - that's what seems to fit me with Kwik Sew.  I used a pretty beige lace for the front and underline (?) it with nude swimwear lining.  I used a beige knit for the back.  Instead of putting a drawstring in the upper front casing - I put elastic in it.
The final piece was Textile Studios Capri Jacket.  I used the shorted version and shortened it another 3 inches!  I also lengthened the sleeves by 2".  This was made from a raspberry boucle type knit that I got from Emma One Sock a couple of years ago.
Added to that were the brown suede skirt and the pink print Kwik Sew 3337 skirt.  I wore the pink skirt, the lace top and the knit jacket to the meeting and got lots of compliments!
