This sweater set rounded out my sewing this week. A great addition to my fall wardrobe. It's from Loes Hinse Sweater Set pattern. It had been years since I had sewn it. I made alterations with, once again, Sure Fit Designs, and it came out perfectly. I had orange sweater material left from the vest, so I made a shell from it as well.
All fabric is from Gorgeous Fabrics. They are a light sweater fabric that is perfect for early fall, and in Alabama will also work all winter.I've really enjoyed having the week off to sew and hang out at the house instead of going somewhere. My husband and I decided this will be a new tradition for us Labor Day week. We decided it was a good practice for retirement in 10 years.
I was having this "sewcation" simultaneously with Carolyn in NJ. It was great fun knowing that she was sewing hard at home and anticipating her creations. Carolyn is always inspiring and makes the most beautiful clothes.
Unfortunately, now it's back to work and catching up with what I missed in the world of Public Health Social Work.
Wow!! You had a very productive Sewcation. Everything looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou made 12 pieces in one week! Wow! I'm really impressed - and a little jealous.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just browsed your blog. Very impressive. I am interested in the Sure Fit Designs. I am a newbie sewer and a plus size and it has been a frustrating journey trying to sew my first piece.
It is especially hard because on top of everything I am a pear shaped plus.
I wish I had your experience and talent.
Thank for sharing
Becca
