I have not had the opportunity to wear my new Sinclair Nova Raglan Sleeve top. My DH has a doctor's appointment on Friday and my plan is to wear this then. Hopefully, I can take some pics before the appointment.
My next project is another Sinclair pattern, the Calypso Colorblocked top and hoodie. I don't have enough material for a cowl or hoodie, so this will have a simple neckband.
Pattern Review is having a fabric stash contest and I always have good intentions of sewing several fabrics from my stash and normally only ending up making 1-2 garments. The contest allows sewing home items, such as curtains and the like which will obviously use more fabric than not. I entered this year as a means to hopefully motivate me to sew more and use some nice fabrics still in the stash.
My fabric was purchased from Sew Much Fabric in 2017. It is a double-sided knit in green and blue.
The colors are rather muted, but I love the feel of this fabric, and will work for color blocking. I also purchased a gray and beige piece and have some thoughts about what I will make with that. It will not be the Calypso.
My success with the Sinclair patterns has been great and because it has I skipped the "team trace" with this pattern. I fit size 14-16 in the petite patterns without many adjustments except for my usual forward shoulder and swayback.
There are a lot of pieces with this pattern and the pattern is printed, taped and cut out. Next up is to cut the fabric. I have to set up my serger and sewing machine also.
More to share later.
Wow! This is a fabulous top! Just lovely ♥
