MADE it... {26}
And VOILA, here is my new grey hoodie.
Wearable. No bright pops of colour (I'm sorry, me). No pockets (yet, I might change my mind). A fake opening down the front of it. I'm sorry this photo doesn't show it at all. I purposely made it off-centre and wasn't thinking about it when I shot these photos. I still have to put some buttons on it to make it look more like an opening.
It's kind of half finished, but it's fully finished if I want it to be. Right now, it IS fully finished. Later, I might add the rest. For now, it's just what I need.
I ran out of ribbing for the ends of the sleeves, so I used the same fabric as the body of it instead. I'm not super happy with it, but it's an easy change if/when I get around to buying some more ribbing.
One thing I was disappointed with was the fact that the ribbing looked lighter when it was stretched. So it doesn't fully match the body fabric - even though it was a 'pre cut' piece that 'matched' to the sweat-shirting.
Oh well. I'm getting used to it and it's not such a big deal any more. Haha. Perfectionist much?
