I am finally getting around to blogging about my latest sewing creation... another Style Arc Estelle Jacket! This has been cut out for a few days just waiting for me to find some time to put it together. I decided to make this jacket one size smaller, a size 10 and I like the fit a little better. It seems like the shoulder area just sits on me better.
In the photo it looks like it is more of a beige/brown color but it is actually an olive green (I really need to work on taking better pictures):
I also got started on some charity knitting. This chemo hat has been on my knitting needles for quite awhile. I have another 4-5 balls of yarn for hats. It may not be ready for this winter but I will have a pile for next winter! The pattern for this hat is the Wavy Moss Slouchy Hat. I like this pattern because of it gives the illusion of hair underneath that hat, which I think is important to most chemo patients.
I got so many compliments on the jacket when I wore it to work. The olive green is such a nice color and it works for all seasons. I love, love, love this fabric. I wish it came in more colors because I would buy every single one! Currently I am craving a nice light pink for spring! Last week when I was at my doctor's appointment (out of town), I thought I would kill some time by stopping at Joann's. That is not always a good idea. The bolt of fabric literally fell into my arms and next thing I know, I have 2 yards of wonderful red refined ponte fabric!
I wonder how many Estelle jackets is too many?
