I was going to make another plain scoop neck 3/4 long sleeve tee. After cutting, I had a good amount of the Merino wool left, but not enough to do anything worthwhile with. I wanted to use up the fabric and get my money’s worth,and the top needed something extra, so I added a turtleneck. Fabric used up! And a warm neck too.
I used my Lady T shirt pattern again. I didn’t want to get out my cover stitcher so I made cuffs at the sleeves and hem. What I ended up with was a sweater that looks a lot like a popular sewing pattern. The Renfrew.
This Merino wool I made it with is sooo soft. I’m planning another trip to The Fabric Store to buy some more of these gorgeous New Zealand wool knits. I’m hooked and it’s been cold.
I’m not going to stress about making my entire wardrobe this coming year. That’s way too much pressure, and I just bought some winter clothes on sale for 65 % off at the Land’s End after Christmas sale. Store clothes are so inexpensive with these crazy sales, that it’s easier and cheaper to buy once in awhile. It’s like fast food. Hard to resist sometimes.
I just love this funky pattern envelope. The typical 70’s California girl. I love the jaunty scarf.
This same method is used if you want to add arm bands or hem bands to a top, too.
If you make one post it on my Facebook page!
