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.

Goober Pea Designs Quadra Jacket

This little one needed a light jacket for childcare. They finally renovated and the airconditioning is working at long last. 

That means she needed an extra layer at nap times so i thought it was a perfect time to try the new jacket pattern from Goober Pea Designs - Quadra jacket!


This is flannelette from a destash and it's so soft inside and out that, i knew it is perfect for an unlined light jacket. 

It's also super cute with all the kitties ❤

I love how fast it came together even with the separating zipper. She's wearing this over a normal top and there's enough ease to be comfortable.

She's also very capable to zipping herself up properly. Yay to self-dressing kiddos.

Look at that proud face 🥰

The Quadra jacket has pocket and colorblocking options but i skipped all those since it's just for using in childcare for nap times. 

In future though, it will be so useful for jackets meant for wearing in cold countries - when we can finally travel again 😅
