Fall-winter sewing round up!

February 20, 2022Categories Fall Winter Wardrobe 2022, ProjectsLeave a Comment on Fall-winter sewing round up!

This past October I wrote down my sewing plans for fall and winter and last week I finished my last project on the list, the blouse! My mood board involved a mix of classic pieces and some unusual color for me. Fall-winter mood board My color palette included three main colours (navy, black and beige)…

Still loving stripes 💙 Currently on my needles 🧶 Last Sunday @sewtell_austin organized frocktail! It was a very nice afternoon, talking about sewing, and meeting new people and friends with the same hobby! I’m very grateful for this community in Austin, thanks @gleeheehee and @heathercuriel for organizing the event!!! Long overdue post featuring my mom 🥰. I 🧶 this beret for my cousin’s birthday while I was in Italy and now that she has it I can post the pictures I took featuring my mom. Gift knitting over the holiday break 🧶! I found this green wool inside an old box full of yarn belonging to my mom. When my sister saw the color she asked for a colorful winter hat 😊. Here she is @meglolli with her #classicribbedhat @purlsoho. My second sweater is done! I’m really into knitting at the moment, mainly because my work schedule got busier and I just find it easier to knit a couple of rows in the evening instead of taking out my sewing machine. Having said so I miss sewing so thanksgiving break will be a sewing break for me🧵. I’ll post a picture with me wearing this soon! My first cable knit project! I made the #spiritualguardiancowl @heather.hops in Patons yarn and leftover mohair from @norli_lana (from my sweater last year). And since I still had some yarn left I knit a matching headband. Pattern from a YouTube tutorial by Mirella Moments. This project started a couple of years ago. I saw a pair of pants in this tiny pied de poule print and I spent the last two years finding a fabric that would be suited to make my own version. Finally last summer I found it!! It’s not a pied de poule but a tiny gingham, the type of fabric that makes your eyes go crazy when you iron it 😅. The pattern I used is #soiultimatetrousers (size 10) @sewoveritlondon with the addition of a 2 cm waistband. Here worn with #truebiaszoey @truebias (size 6). Autumn is a couple of weeks away, even if in Austin might be more like a couple of months 😢, so I’m back in knitting mood. Knitting project number 3 was inspired by yarn found at my parent’s place in Italy. My mom kept a box full of yarn for the past 30+ years and I decided it might be a good idea to make something from it. The wool brand/content is unknown but I paired the only two cream color skeins (Aran weight??) with some fingering weight yarn in a slightly different shade of cream. It was just enough for this vest project.
