Sewing the Wrong Season

Everything about this fabric says FALL! But it also kept saying "Sew me next! Sew me next!" I tried to resist. I spent lots of time going through my sizable stash trying to get inspired by something more appropriate for mid to late winter or even early spring but this burgundy leaf print is all I wanted to sew.

I used New Look 6963 view C with sleeves from a different pattern. I've sewed it like this a couple of times before and I really like it. It's comfortable to wear but has just a bit of shaping, thanks to back darts.

I love it but now I'm over fall and I'm getting interested in sewing for spring, the prettiest time of year.

  1. Oh, that's a lovely color! I can see why it was calling to you. February requires bright colors.

  2. Very pretty shirt, especially the shaping. I suspect you needed to do this one to get oriented toward spring....

    1. Thank you. That could be true. Maybe I needed to sew just one more fall thing.
