Self explanatory really…
above is my new sweater/ tee in the Fabric Store merino knit, colour Vanilla; I made it using the Closet Core Nettie pattern and added a short wide turtle-neck collar… I love this tee so much! even though honestly I don’t really need to make another white or even white-is top as long as I live. I don’t care I still love it!
Worn with my Closet Core patterns Pietra shorts in BamBam cotton drill from Spotlight, and ye olde self-drafted tights
another new sweater/tee; same pattern, same fabric in colour Marsala. Worn with my outback wife V 1247 skirt, self-drafted tights
So; I bought all of these beautiful thin merino stretch knits from the Fabric Store online during one of their sales… I had this idea once upon a time of making a tee in every colour in their range but just to do it bit by bit, buy maybe two new colours per year. I don’t know now if I’d still do a tee in every colour… since we moved and I had to finally own up to the fact that my stash is GINORMUOUSLY HUGE, so I’m kind of on a mission to use up my stash before buying anything else at all. And now with the completion of these three new tees, I’ve successfully used up nearly all the merino in my stash, which is kind of amazing! Yes, I said “nearly’ I still have about another sweater’s worth of the ivory leftover, and small leftover amounts of marsala and mustard left too, oh and also the forest, but the forest is thankfully already cut out and well on its way to be completely, and gainfully, used up which is totally awesome news.
below; same pattern, this time with a bound neckline, and the same fabric in colour Forest. Worn with this little wool tartan skirt, fabric bought in Tokyo during a holiday there… boy that feels like decades ago now! I wish I could go back some day!
