Good Feelings

Recognize this pattern? It's Vogue 8278...again. I thought it might be a good idea to continue the knit sewing trend..I like to make things more than once just to make sure it wasn't a fluke that it turned out the first time. Again, this pattern was super easy to make and if you can get your hands on a copy...make it!  As much as I loved making this pattern, I love this fabric even more. It is soooo soft!! I can't remember the content, I'm sure that it is some sort of poly but I couldn't care less. It just feels so good. 

I had enough of this fabric to make a longer sash this time but still not enough to have any choice with the pattern placement. I think it looks fine and I'm not sure having more fabric would have made it any better. I am pleased that the navy section of the fabric ended up closer to my face...it's just a better color on me and kind of makes it look like a yoke. Both good things.

Here I go again with my catwalk pics... much better than jumping, don't you think?

Here you can see the color palette up close. I have paired this with my navy cardigan on cooler days and can foresee wearing this dress a lot.

So there you have it...two knit projects. I am feeling pretty good about myself and want to continue to sew up some knits.

Fall Neutral

Well.... here I have gone and made another Simplicity 2444. This time in a Japanese wool that I found in the sample section of my local fabric store. I don't usually go for a neutral palette because they tend to make me look washed out. My hope was that paired with this ivory jacket, it would look okay.

I won't go into the details of this pattern because we all know that I have made it many times before. A real TNT pattern for me. I lined the bodice and shortened the length of the skirt...I didn't have enough fabric so the hem is itsy bitsy!

Happy First Day of Fall everyone!
