Recently I tried out a new pattern for my ten year old daughter. And I saw other women making the same shirt for them selves. I checked out the measurements, and sure enough, the XL fit me. How fun! I decided to make one for myself.
The Project Sewn theme this week is to sew something to wear with a pair of your shoes. I have these cute little boots with laces that I love. I picked them up in Germany, where they have a shoe store on every corner. They are lots of fun to wear, but are often pretty dressy. So I thought it would be fun to sew something that is causal that could be worn with them.
Thus, I took the Figgy Celestial Pullover pattern and made it with a sweatshirt fabric with a funky grey and black print. The fabric was a remnant and I barely had enough.
The turtle neck must be a knit fabric, so I used some soft, fuzzy knit I had in my stash.
The shirt has wonderful pockets.
And, I have been wanting to participate in the leather accent trend. But, I was not ready for the expense. So I used a vinyl bias tape to trim the hems of the shirt.
If you are interested in hearing more from us, there are a couple ways for you to keep in touch!
Great top! That vinyl detail is wonderful. I never would have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabulous tights with this outfit--so fun! That top looks cozy and cool at the same time.
ReplyDeleteOh, that vinyl bias tape on the hem is a genius idea! Can't wait to try it myself. I'll be honest...you had me at pink tights! Very cheery outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
