our sewing area has gotten back to a semi-sense of normalcy,
and our lives have begun to slow down as well.
Then, last week….we checked the calendar and realized: “GUEST POST ALERT!” Eek!!
Back to the sewing machine we went…..for the first time since completing our “Signature Style” earlier this month. The hiatus was nice…..really nice….and really fast!
When Shelly contacted us to be on the Figgy’s Heavenly Collection Winter 2014 Tour,
we knew we wanted to be a part of it!
First and foremost: Shelly is amazing!! We worked with her during October’s Flip this Pattern series, using her Sunki Dress, Tunic, and Leggings as an inspirational springboard for flipped pieces.
She didn’t “know us,” yet she jumped in…..and played an active part during her month of flips!!
That meant the world to us!!
Secondly, we knew we wanted to participate in this tour because many of the Figgy’s Heavenly Collection were sewn with knits. Now, let it be known that we claim ZERO PROFICIENCY in sewing knits,
but would like to become more adept in sewing knits in the months ahead.
What a perfect opportunity to challenge ourselves to do just that!
That said, we opted to sew three patterns from the Heavenly Collection – all, basic knit pieces that are sure to get lots of wear from our nieces…. We chose to sew each, using upcycled materials. Again, something we would like to become better at incorporating in our 2014 sewing.
First: The Celestial Pullover
All of these patterns are PERFECT for the “Knit Beginner Sewist.” Each one is a basic pattern,
with minimal pattern pieces, and easy-to-follow / sequential instructions.
We are thrilled to have these in our ‘knit pattern collection’ and plan on using them as
we incorporate more knit sewing for our nieces in the years to come.
At this post’s release date….
NONE of these garments have been tried on / modeled / etc. {due to weather and family illness}
so we have no information on the fit. We sewed the 4/5 size for all the pieces,
and look forward to trying them on EA in the near future!
The Ethereal Dress didn’t quite make our sewing deadline, but we plan to make one for CL in the near future. Wouldn’t it be too, too cute…..paired with some fun leggings….as we enter the spring months!?!?
