Due to some health issues, I've not been sewing much and posting even less. So I'm playing catch up here. These are the 2 items I made in February.
First is a plaid poncho. I used a piece of plaid flannel that I got at WalMart. It was $3.00 yd and I used 2 yards. I didn't use a pattern for this. I cut 3 rectangles and sewed them together at the shoulders. I planned to add black fringe to the hem, and I may still do that later.
Next is a black and white fleece vest. I had the fleece left over from pj pants I made for my DGD. I didn't have enough of the print fleece, so I used solid black for the back. For the lining, I used a white silky that I had in my stash. I think it needs some type of closure. But it got warm before I got around to wearing it, so I'll worry about that next winter.
I started with this pattern, but changed the shape of the front hemline.
I used the collar from this pattern:
I'm sorry to hear you have not been well - I was wondering what was happening.
