February Challenge - check...



The knit challenge - and i must admit, i found it a challenge from start to finish. I had NO idea what i wanted to sew with knit. It even seemed hard to come by anything nice! Finally i went with the age-old fallback, a dress for my daughter using the Farbenmix Olivia pattern. Great pattern, beautiful shape and very wearable. I played it smart and let Nina choose her own fabric, it was a bit 'fine' and i would have preferred something a bit 'meatier' for ease of use but it's all part of the learning experience :)


Here she is modelling :) The hood has since succumbed lol, she said it made the whole thing look ugly so i took the scissors to it LOL.

Perfect: NO
Wearable: Yes
Repeatability: High


Two out of three ain't bad!

  3. So sweet. What a pity she didn't like the hood - I think it looks fantastic! Love the pink and green combo. Very fresh indeed.
