Hi Everyone,
How's the first month of 2011 treating you?
I'm staying busy like everyone else. I've been wanting to sew lately and found time to make a new top. Kwik Sew Pattern 3658. I used a cotton/lycra blend from Sewzanne's Fabrics. The color is Spruce Green and it's 92% cotton and 8% lycra. I made size Medium and graduated to the Large for my hips.
I also made a long sleeve version in navy. I like the neckline and fit of this pattern. It was pretty easy to sew.
I think this would look good in a jersey knit or a sweater knit. I haven't tried either one yet so I won't promise the results. Let me know if you have any fabric recommendations for this top. I'd love to know what you tried or what you think.
I want to make some pants. I need to make some pants. I need to decide on a pattern and start working on a muslin. I made myself several pairs of pants many years ago. I decided it's time to do so again. About 97% of the time I have to alter any pants I buy.
What have you been sewing lately? I'd love to hear about it.
