Sometimes I briefly wish I could wear off the rack…

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 is 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

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
