Anyways, while searching for some sewing odds and ends, I came across some very cute holiday knit. I didn't think I had anything to coordinate with it but dug through the stash and came up with a stripe that goes pretty well, imo.
I've been wanting to make the Farbenmix Olivia dress with the Farbenmix Jule hood for a while so I got to it. Cutting went well, I was a bit unsure of the Jule hood but I was making it out to be more complex than it actually was.
This project came together pretty quickly too. I used steam a seam on the front of the hood where I finished the edge, it helped a great deal to hold everything in place and I could skip the pins (I loathe pins). Only trouble spot was the pocket. I was using the same stripe as the sleeves and used the steam a seam to put it in the right spot. Well I sewed it on with a zig zag and didn't like how the pink thread looked against the stripe. So I ripped out the seam but some of the steam a seam stayed on the pink fabric leaving a little trail of maroon fuzz. So it looks like that pocket will be going back on to cover the spot now.
I think it looks great for my first successful knit dress.
Jule hood, I love how this came out!!!
Thanks for looking
