I am congratulating myself as I finished my winter wardrobe a month before the end of winter. I made 5 item including a hand knitted vest
The Yellow top is View C of Simplicity S8982.This is my favourite piece of my winter wardrobe. This pattern was very simple to follow & I made no alterations.
I also love the cardigan which covers my toosh well. There is a sort fs peplum piece at the back which provides fullness. The pattern for the cardigan is McCall's M6996 view A.I will more versions of this cardi in patterned fabrics. I made size L.
I also made black velvet leggings using McCall's M7026 view E. I cut out the largest size, which was 22 according to my hip measurements. That was a mistake, the pants were too loose & I had to reduce them by 3 sizes to get the right fit. I employed the same method when I made a pair for my daughter.
The skirt is version B of McCall's M7022. This was my first experiment with plaids. This pattern harkens back to my childhood when my dad bought us tartan winter skirts. The skirt sits below the waist.
I enjoyed curating these pieces. Next are my spring pieces.
