Light grey sweater

Not too cold or too hot, love the weather in the west coast!!!!

Ideal for this........ knit sweater?!

 

I am currently sewing 3 other garments!!!! ahhhhhhhh, which is why I needed a simpler and comfy project :)

 

Other Projects: a jean jacket (or something along those lines), a vinyl vest (trying to make it have a steam punk vibe, we'll see how that turns out), and a loose fitted top (another easy item).  Self drafted patterns for all of the abovementioned projects :)

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

 

Back to the sweater.............

Self drafted the pattern from my shirt/sleeve slope for knits.

 

The hem, neck line and sleeve hem were finished with the serger, folded and then I used the zigzag stitch.

This knit fabric was tricky to work with, giving me a wavy hem line :(

So........... please don't scrutinize this work hahaha

 

Showing long sleeves, I wore a pink tank top, because IT IS VERY see through!!!!

See the orchid behind me? A gift from my cousin Karla, and it's the second time it blooms!!!!! yayyyyyyy!

The length sits on hip level.

The front :)

That's all sewing world, 'til next post!

Self drafted sloper for knit skirt

A big smile when you draft a pattern and it fits your body!!!!!

 

I have entered a new stage of my sewing adventure, and that is to draft my own patterns based on my measurements.

This past week I began on a knit skirt, who knew that you had to adjust the pattern depending on the stretch of the knit??????? I didn't :( but it's a learning curve, and now I know :)

 

 

Fabric: grey knit jersey from Jo-Ann's

Sewn: serged all the seams, except for the hem, I used a larger straight seam (because it will not stretch)

 

Side pockets, with a style line on the waist line.

I created a casing for the elastic at the waist line.

 

Skirt is semi fitted at the hip and then straight down to the hem.

I have left overs from this fabric, might make a shirt with long sleeves (if there's enough material).
