Sometimes I briefly wish I could wear off the rack clothes, and then I think of all the sense of joy, accomplishment, pride, challenge, and comfort my sewing brings me and I am grateful for who i am and I would not change a thing. This is another Jenna by Closet Core. The pattern accomodates max chest 60” and 62” hips. This is my 3rd one. Just love the oversized feels with the fitted upper areas. This is in Plaiditudes from JoAnns. I don’t buy much from JoAnn’s but this stuff if great. It is so thick after washing it is more like a shacket (half shirt, half jacket). Great stuff especially if you catch it on sale. I graded the waist and hips out. Top and sleeves are 1x. Fits my generous biceps. Just love it. Still needs buttons and some basting threads removed, and it will become a cold weather favorite for sure. #closetcorejenna. #sewover50november24

This is Jenna blouse from Closet Core Patterns. Made from flannel from Zinck’s Fabrics in Earl, Pennsylvania. I bought a bolt for $3.99 a yard. I lengthened the pattern 2 inches. It is 1x on top and sleeve, graded to 3x at waist and hips. It is so comfortable. It is a wonderful make with clear instructions and some great details. I am planning several more. I highly recommend this pattern. #closetcorejenna #zincksfabricoutlet
