She is so enthusiastic and gets really involved in all the details.
She has been wanting a nude hooded jacket f o r e v e r.
Nude unbrushed cotton fleece, have you ever tried to find nude unbrushed fleece?
I googled my little fingers off to no avail.
Then, around Mothers Day, Spotlight had a 40% off fabric, storewide.
Trixie was poorly and wanted to feed all the time so I cruised through the whole website.
Spotlight online is a really crappy website. It is clunky and has a horrid search function.
I found this fabric , washed unbleached coral fleece with the co ordinating ribbing.
Zara loved the colour so we gave it a go.
Lekala patterns are custom made, to your body measurements.
Lekala instructions are pretty brief at the best of times, this patterns were pretty much non-existent but I got there.
The drop shoulder drapes elegantly and the colour is quite sophisticated.
Zara didn't want the cord at the neck, she preferred a clean look.
I have repeat orders for a black, grey and white version, for University next year.
This jumper is exactly what I had in mind, from the colour and feel of the fabric to the pattern. It`s absolutely perfect. Thankyou so, so much mum. It is extremely comfortable but still looks dressy. Next a white one please mum : D
Thanks for reading...

I'm with you on the Spotlight website. It's really hard to browse! Sometimes I just want to look through what patterns they have available but it's nearly impossible.
ReplyDeleteIt is the worst!
DeleteThe search engine is terrible, I had looked so many times for this fabric. not even by colour, by unbrushed fleece and it never came up!

I have 2 Lekala patterns in my stash that I haven't sewn up yet but I couldn't help notice that the instructions were noticeably skimpy which is why they're still sitting somewhere at the bottom of one of my stash boxes! I love your daughter's hoodie - the colour is nice!
ReplyDeleteI feel a bit mean bagging them out Kathleen, to be fair, all the bones are there and once you understand you think 'Ahhh, that is what they mean'
DeleteThank you!

I agree about the Spotlight search function too - it doesn't search terms in combination, just brings up anything with any of your words in it! Great hoodie (well done Mum ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt is a stupid website, you would think they would work on it.

It looks so comfy! Joann's website here in the U.S. isn't great either; very hard to just browse.
ReplyDeleteYes, but you get better coupons in Jonann's...
DeleteThank you Masha.
