chebeAfter a project as tricky as that last one I need something simple as a palette cleanser. Remember Seamwork's Lex? Last time went so smoothly, and I want that energy again.
Same size 16 Curvy as last time, but with the Front and Back shortened by 10cms for a slight crop. I found a fun Fleece Backed Sweatshirting, Smiley Face Print, 65% Polyester, 35% Cotton, 275gsm that I want to use. With the same black knit cuff ribbing, 95% cotton 5% spandex, 285gsm, and black thread.
Seams are finished with the overlocker/serger, but I was feeling cheeky and used only straight stitch everywhere for construction, with only a single row of top-stitching at neckline and hem for a less sporty look.
I adore this jumper. With the cropped length I don't find the print overwhelming, it's colourful, but dark. It's cheery, but a bit cynical. The fabric is really comfortable, and the cropped length feels less casual. I'm in danger of making a million of these tops.
