Just finished this Cashmerette Stanton Hoodie. Took a Zoom class with Sarah Joiner through Pintuck and Purl shop. Graded size 20 chest, 28 waist, 30 hips, and 26 full bicep sleeve. A bit tricky to grade, but I have super comfy hoodie which fits but I am not drowning in it. Sweatshirt fleece with cotton spandex scraps for lining. OESD embroidery from their Sashiko Reflections collection. #cashmerettestanton #pintuckandpurl #oesdembroidery #sewover50plus #curvysewingcollective

Round Two entry for Pattern Review’s annual sewing bee contest. The challenge was to make a garment that the collar is the predominant feature. I used pin tucks and hem stitching on linen to create my own textile, which I used to make the V neck sailor collar. It is Folkwear’s Patterns Metro Middy Blouse. I used lightweight linen, Wing needle, twin needles, foot 46C on my Bernina sewing machine, Aqua Mesh Plus stabilizer from OESD, and Isacord Embroidery thread. #patternreview #sewingbee2023 #folkwearpatterns #berninausa #oesdembroidery #isacordthread
