Slouchy Sweater for Junie

September 30, 2016
Girl Charlee approached me to see if I wanted to sew something with their fabric. Uh DUH. Yes! It’s about darn time that I turn on the freaking sewing machines. So thanks to them for the extra bit of motivation. :) I love their fabric. melissaesplin-juniper-sweater-sewing-girl-charlee-1 melissaesplin-juniper-sweater-sewing-girl-charlee-2 I chose this heathered specialty hacci sweater knit. It's a light-weight, ultra-soft sweater knit that's perfect for the weird transition to fall where it's hot one minute and cold the next. And it washes and wears so beautifully. melissaesplin-juniper-sweater-sewing-girl-charlee-3 I made up the pattern for this sweater. I haven't yet perfected the pattern, but once I do, I'll share that with you. It's only 2 pattern pieces, plus binding. It's similar to the Cocoon Cardigan from True Bias. It's a little smaller than I had originally planned, but it looks so darn cute on June anyway. melissaesplin-juniper-sweater-sewing-girl-charlee-4   melissaesplin-juniper-sweater-sewing-girl-charlee-7 Junie is too cute. She didn't want me to take photos of her, so I had to bribe her with phone time. But when it comes to painting her nails, she begs me to do it! She's such a cute girly-girl. I can't handle it, total cuteness overload!! Outfit details:
