Burda Style For people who sew
Description
i’m so happy! i think this came out pretty awesome, maybe a little bigger than expected, but i think it works. doesn’t it look like something a prince would wear? i used the lydia pattern, some of my medallion shirt and drew the hood right off of an h&m hoodie. i sewed most of it on my mom’s serger, it was a lot of fun! i also did some hand stitching to get everything nice and neat. it is really comfy and super warm
Material Notes
sweater knit fabric from mood fabrics
pleated velvet ribbon from m&j trimmings

That looks really great!!! Normally I don’t like clothing that looks too feminin - but your creation links the cosy sweater knit fabric with precious-looking velvet ribbon - I love it !

Wow – it looks absolutely amazing. You should be very proud of your sweater. I cant believe it came from the Lydia pattern. I adore the colour too.

Lovely, lovely sweather! Congrats on incorporating all that stuff! and I don’t think it’s big. It’s just the right size for you.
