When I got this baby french terry from Sly Fox Fabrics, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. I needed to make another Carlsbad Cardigan from the Sew Beautiful book by Kennis Wong.
This is the Jade Pepper BFT and the color is gorgeous! And yes - it matches my glasses.
This BFT is so soft and has great drape. It isn't very thick and was perfect for the Carlsbad Cardigan.
I haven't worn my contacts much this year and found that I wear a lot of teal like colors and bought these glasses because I thought they would look good with a lot of items in my closet.
I had to get a shot of my mitered corner. This pattern is so good and the corners and hemline come out so perfect!
The pandemic has really made me rethink the way I think about my clothing. So much of it now feels so unnecessary. My "work clothes" haven't been worn in over 8 months now. I wear more activewear during the week, and dress up a bit nicer in more office casual wear on the weekends and when I do have doctor appointments.
I honestly don't see a lot of that changing for at least 6 months. I will probably slow way down on my sewing of clothing. What clothing I do make I am going to put more thought into. I am thinking of only making clothing that falls within a narrow color range of blue to green. I'd also make a few pieces that fall on both sides of those on the color wheel yellow and purple, and allow neutrals of brown, black, and white.
I also have plans to begin work on a few quilts. I will probably make items for my husband and son. But I really want to spend some time working on a few other crafts and work on my textile design work.
And who knows - I might wake up tomorrow and decide to do something completely different.
