Burda Easy 8291

Made this on Sunday. I love it...but I did the overlap in the wrong direction. I was a fast and easy sew. I'd like to do a few more....

This was made from fabric found in my garage. It was washed, dried, cut and sewn....HAPPY SEWING!!!!

1st make of 2017...M6996

Just finished my favorite cardi/jacket M6996. Love that is it an easy sew, for instant gratification if you've been in a slump. I don't remember where I got the fabric, but it's been in my stash for a while. I also noticed that I should have paid attention to the front facing and matched it. Oh well...too late now and I am going to wear it proudly.

This is the 4th time I made it. The alteration that I made were to reduce the armscye depth by 2"; they there were too deep; I took the same amount from the sleeve cap; last I narrowed the sleeve. I felt they were too baggy. 

The changes that I made worked out for me. I also like the fact that it's a bit shorter than the 1st one I made straight from the envelope. 

Thanks and Happy Sewing!!!!

Happy New Year...a bit late!!

Today I will be starting my sewing for 2017. In addition to my sewing, I would also, if I have time to chart my weight loss journey...again.

So far in 2017, the only thing that was sewn was curtains for the bedroom. I was able to get some corduroy on sale. Fast and easy.

Today I cut out one of my fav cardigans: M6996. I am doing View C. I've made the final alterations and this should fit how I want it to.

The fabric has been in my stash for a while. I will have to look for my swatches to see where and when.

Once it's finished I will post.

HAPPY SEWING!!! XOXOXOX

PS...I am trying to shop from my stash that is up to the ceiling. I am also on a pattern diet.
