Sew Simple Sweater Coat
Knitted Fabric Sooo(sew) Simple to Make
Found this sweater knit in GStreetFabrics 'Treasure Hunt' Room
All seams were Flat Felt sewn including side seam pockets so this could be 'reversible'
Used this style pattern with side seam pockets from a pants pattern I grabbed while cutting it out and extended length 6 inches on view A length (I am 5'2")-cut out long white stripe w/ 1/2" black on each side to sew on edges like double fold bias for edging trim on all sides and bottom-one side was just selvage that was already a white edging ruffling
Looking at this in the pile-my mind went wild..and sooooo soft and cozy
