Currently, I'm in a sewing frame of mind. Winter is coming on and I hate being cold.
Rummaging in my fabric stash I found some pale blue and dark blue fleece fabric that I had put aside to make a Kwik Sew zipped jacket. Now I don't think I liked the combination so it didn't get further than cutting out the dark blue bits (now binned). Along came Simply Sewing magazine with an included pattern for a hoodie. A light bulb moment!
The pale blue fleece is cut out. I'm using some darker blue knit t-shirt fabric (left over from another project) for the hood lining and cord.
Looking forward to sewing it today and tomorrow and will report back with the finished item.
About 'closet craft junkies' - I discovered recently my husband's cousin is a sewer! Now this is a lady who loves her motorcycles and I've known her for years. She announced on Facebook that she'd bought a new overlocker and I thought W H A T!?! It turns out she also owns a sewing machine and has made things like quilts. I'm impressed!
Just goes to show how little we know about each other.
