Rain City Pearson Pullover

It had been raining incessantly again recently. Flash floods and everything too. 

The weather turned cold and perfect for light layering and so I thought it was perfect time to make myself a Pearson Pullover. I love the drafting of Rain City Pattern Co. I love how everything i made for my kids fit so far. And this is the second adult pattern I made from RCPC and this one fits beautifully too.  

Can I just say that that sleeve is just beautiful? I really loved the shape. I picked the band for the long sleeves as well so I don't have to deal with elastic casing. And I enjoy how quick it all came together especially with the projector. I didn't want it too short so I used the band for the pullover instead of the elastic option.  

So COMFY!

This fabric is waffle knit with elastane. It's 4 way stretch and really soft. The vertical stretch isn't as much as the horizontal one but that's okay with this pattern. 

Matchy matchy family set!

I've been testing quite frequently for Sinclair Patterns these days. And these are some matchy matchy outfits I managed to make for my entire family whilst testing. 

I didnt want it to be too obvious, in-your-face, kind of matching but something which still looks good when they wear it on their own. 

And also, the husband can be very particular about prints so heathered grey athletic knit is a very safe option! Of course I didn't have quite so many yardages of a specific heathered grey knit so i mixed and matched a few close matches - and they were all from my stash! Yippee! 

Patterns featured: Ivy, Ivyberry, Rocky and Rockyberry

Here's my husband and son at the beach!

Here's Rockyberry tank with Solberry shorts. 

This Ivyberry is made with remnants from big and brave fabrics and the drape is really lovely! 

Mine is made with a different remnant, a much thinner athletic knit that is also very comfortable. 

I do like this family set so so much. Can u tell we have been wearing these often? Many of these photos are taken at different locations over different days! 

Sinclair Azalea Top

Oh my heart!! I've absolute love for this Azalea top pattern from Sinclair Patterns. Big big big love for it. 

This is my first tester version of it in ITY fabric and it is love at first sight. I actually own a rtw top in this exact design but in CL and that one drapes differently. 

This one, i can make it in exactly the fabric I envision a top like this shld be made in and it's just been making my heart sing. 

I just love how the top v knot looks and the instructions are wonderful 🥰

I made my second version in a white 3/4 sleeve interlock (i wldn't recommend this fabric!). 

It still looks cute, but cos it isn't a recommended fabric, i think there's room for improvement for sure. 

Next one in black? =p=p=p
