Skyelines are Keeping me Warm
And the deep-freeze continues…..
So I’ve been hibernating indoors and sewing, and sewing, and sewing.
I’ve made another version of this same pattern (in the next size up, medium) using a leftover piece of green marbled flannel that was left over from making my hubby a bathrobe. It took me an entire day of shuffling the pattern pieces on the fabric so they’d fit. I won! It’s like a contest you know.
My first was in the black and white checked flannel. It’s warm and cozy! And actually fits well except the sleeves are tight and I have trouble pulling it over my head to take it off.
While I was shuffling the pattern pieces around for the green variation I was dreaming of embellishments. I changed the collar making it smaller and a stand up version.
I really like the way this one turned out. I used bias strips sewn into tubes then top-stitched them in place. The closures are plastic snaps.
How are you keeping warm? I’d love to hear from you.
Love your top. The embellishments make it pop.
Thank you Deb, it’s those little touches that take a garment over the edge.
I love the neck area being covered up…sunggley
Yes, Carol, all snugly like in jammies. I’m going to wear it to Sewing Social today.
