I really enjoy making these new sweaters out of old sweaters, enough that I decided to start numbering them. This one is number 5. I'm finally feeling more comfortable with the technique of sewing sweaters on my serger without fretting over every seam.
It's made of fine wool and cashmere. It's pretty soft, cozy and warm.
Plus, it buttons up the front with some old buttons from my grandmother's button box. I made the button placket myself, which I'm pretty proud of. It took me 13 tries on a scrap to figure out how to get my sewing machine to make button holes properly, but I got it, and I took notes for next time.
I'm rather pleased with how the neckline came out.
The little leaves are all stitched on separately.
I also added leaves on the sleeve hems and on the patch pocket. This sweater is SOLD. Thanks for looking.
Is this for sale, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteYes, but I see you found that out yourself. Thanks for asking.
DeleteLol...that's what I get for not reading the last paragraph. : )
