A New Jumper

So happy to have completed this jumper, my One Monthly Goal (OMG) for August. 

I’ve had the fabric and pattern for a while, and thought it would be a nice addition to my Fall wardrobe.  It can be work with a top for the cooler times and just sleeveless on warm days. 

The pattern by The Sewing Workshop is called Fillmore Duster, a very well written and easy to follow pattern, 

I like the asymmetry of the back and the bubble shape. 

I haven’t sewn clothing for a long while and was pleasantly surprised by how well it came together.  I do like that there was not a lot of fitting to do.

Thanks to my grandson Owen for taking pictures under the arbour.

A Jumper

And now for something completely different, I’m going to try clothing.  I used to sew clothing, however it’s been years.  Recently I saw this cute jumper made up in a fabric store and loved the design, so I bought some fabric, black linen with a stripe, and I’m going to attempt clothing again. 

My one monthly goal (OMG) for the month of August is to complete this jumper, it’s been so long since I’ve sewn clothing that I have no idea if this is doable.  How long will it take, what issues might I run in to?  I’m going to give it a try as I think this might be a nice addition to my Fall wardrobe.
