This is the second Esther I made last week during my little Esther-fest. Like my first one, which I already posted, it’s got a mix of woven and knit fabtric. The collar is a slate-coloured wool and the body is some kind of a synthetic knit that my serger refused to allow me to adjust its tension to. The cuffs are a super soft, almost slinky cotton knit with a stripe pattern. I added a belt in the same fabric. And some nautical buttons to top it off. All in all a very simple and fun pattern!

It is something to be odd. And it is something to be beautiful. But when you put them both together, as you have, you get something that is priceless and no one else has. I love this combo.
