It never made it into a pair of Animas and a few weekends ago I decided to make it up into a sweater thinking that the fabric could work in a top. The fabric is really soft and lightweight jersey knit (composition unknown) . It is really comfy, but I haven't worn the top out of the house yet. There's something about the fabric and pattern that makes me hesitate - too pyjama-ery? Now I wish I had enough to make some Animas for the matching bottoms for an over the top lounge suit! Maybe I should check at Addicted to Fabric tomorrow..
There you have it. Not the most exciting of makes. It definitely won't be my last undercover sweater as I really like this pattern.. but I promise I have something more exciting on the way next week!
I think it's very cute with jeans - looks so comfy on. You know I love a bit of stretchy wear!
ReplyDeleteI like it! Looks super comfy and stylish.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not pyjamery! Wold like to see the lounge suit - sounds perfect for spring ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks fab! Great colours! I know you guys are heading into spring but I'm thinking Fall, oops Autumn - nobody understands me here when I talk Australian. Great top for jeans.
ReplyDeleteI really like it, but then, I'm on the hunt for slouchy, comfy everyday clothes and the colours are fabulous ;)
ReplyDeleteYou always find the best prints!! So cute even if it is just for lounging!!
ReplyDeleteI really love this & don't think it looks like pyjamas at all - it looks great with jeans!
ReplyDeleteWe're all agreed, it's a casual winner! Love the colours, the style, everything.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about feeling pyjama-y- I tend to shy away from printed long sleeved knit tops for that very reason. BUT! Your addition of the solid colour bands has made all the difference, I reckon. I'd totally wear this outside the house :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny - all the support of this top meant that I actually did wear it out of the house today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shell x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn. I'm glad I finally got a chance to wear it today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are great wintery colours aren't they. It also came in a purple colourway which also would have been fun.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it has Autumn all over it.
ReplyDeleteHa, I couldn't find any more of the fabric on Saturday so I'll just have to wear it with jeans!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet. It is definitely comfy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. It is definitely comfy and that is not a bad thing!
ReplyDeleteLoungewear / PJ's as daywear? Bring it on. Yours looks comfy / stylish and decidedly non-pjarmery though. The colour is a winner!
ReplyDeleteYou look so snug and warm! Chalk this up as a total win!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda x
ReplyDeleteI think this top is great! It looks cozy and I like the print as well. We all sometimes doubt our choices when we shouldn't. This is one you shouldn't doubt at all!
ReplyDeleteVery comfortable looking! I've actually been on the prowl for a similar sweater pattern, so seeing the pattern available on Papercut Patterns is a find!
ReplyDeleteThe small print looks really good on you, too!
