Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Esther in black and grey wool with tiny sliver flecks. Attempted to make it reversible as the fabric is ace both sides, wasn’t incredibly successful there (my half hand sewn flat-felled seam is a bit of a dog’s breakfast!) but hey, live and learn. It didn’t turn out exactly as I imagined it but it kinda grew on me over a few days, and it is super cosy and warm, more like a jacket than a cardi.
Material Notes
Lovely woven wool, spotty black and grey, reversible and with silver thread woven through.

It looks wonderful both ways, nothing unsightly to be seen! I love it, and once again I have to compliment you on the entire outfit. You really have a talent for good color/texture/shape layering.

I don’t see a hand sewn seem – you did a good job on this one! I would spend a lot of money on this one ;)

the fabric is very nice, the “wrong” side looks good too!
