The coldest months in Texas are January and February. With the start of the New Year comes the colder weather. I've found myself reaching for my 5 out of 4 Annabeth Sweatshirts I made back in 2019 when I tested the pattern. Now that I'm working from home daily, I decided it was time to make a few new ones.
This one is my favorite! I received this fun retro rainbow plaid from Northern Whimsy on Spoonflower. This plaid is printed on the bias and is also available printed on the grain. I received the Modern Jersey which is my favorite for knit tops. This isn't Northern Whimsy's only plaid either - they have a huge assortment of plaids and each is unique and beautiful.
I love the relaxed fit of the Annabeth. It has the fit and comfort of a classic sweatshirt. I used a cotton lycra from Made Whimsy for the body in chocolate brown. I love the contract it gives to the retro rainbow plaid.
On colder days I might through a scarf on to keep my neck warm. I may even order this retro rainbow plaid to make one. I could see wearing it a lot.
Here's a closer look at the fabric. I love the mix of bright colors.
I'm actually considering taking a bit of length off the bottom of this Annabeth as it feels a tad too long on me. But, let's be honest - I probably won't get around to doing it.
