型紙は、イギリスにいる時に作ったサマーセーターと同じ型紙。
作ったのはいいけど、ここ深南部はもうすっかり蒸し暑くて着る機会がないのよ。
またまたお出かけ前に大急ぎで写真撮ってもらいました。
この前作った鞄と、4月に作ったジーンズで、すっかり全身自作。
I made a summer sweater. But then, it's already so hot and humid in the Deep South that I won't be able to wear it until fall. It was a relatively cooler evening today so I grabbed the opportunity to wear it for an evening out.
The pattern is Simplicity 1805. I made view E without the hem detail. I cut a size XS. I used this pattern before for another summer sweater and followed the same alterations: shortened the bodice by 2.5" (I'm 5'3") and shortened sleeves by 1".
The fabric is 100% poly, very open weave sweater knit with gold foil freckles. I bought this fabric in 2013 so I am so glad to have finally used it!
Because of the loose weave and that it's a sweater knit, there was no precision sewing in this project. My neck band is so wonky and my hems are total mess, but I'm ok with that.
And look at my brand new Boronia Bowler bag with tassels in action!
Also worn together with my Kaufman Ginger jeans. Hooray for me-made outfit.
