You know you are a sewist when the night before a holiday you decide you need a new garment. That is exactly what I did at 9 pm on February 13th.
Our temperatures are so cold this week, today was -21 with the windchill when we woke up. I knew just the fabric and pattern to help keep my warm. Simplicity 8982 is just such a great pattern, the top with the mock neckline, statement sleeves, extra long cuffs and a nicely fitted body of the shirt. I have made this before . Now a funny coincidence, the fabric for both my Simplicity 8982 came from
Mily Mae Fabrics! I used the Alpaca Pink Polka Dots, sold out sorry but there are several other options in the alpaca category This fabric is the softest and does have a bit of thickness to it.
Another thing I am loving is pink with red or pink with burgundy in fashion. So today, I went with my red combat boots.
Here is a close up of the sleeve cuggs but a bit blurry.
My only change was to add 2" to the height of the mock turtleneck, this is a better height for me.
If you don't have this pattern, pick it up. You will love how quickly it goes together and how great it looks!
Amazing..
