Made it through the cutting part. I have an hour and a half left, so let's get sewing...

Colour blocked sweatshirt: the adventure

So I got inspired and started on a little something which I decided - for my sake - to document.

This was the primary inspo:

I've got precisely two styles. One's a cottage fairy and the other is Nick Nelson. Whatever. That's how I roll.

The catch is, I'm broke, which means this will have to be a 'buy nothing for it' project. Which is cool, it makes things fun and alleviates some of the pressure I can put upon myself when sewing.

Good thing is I'm an owner of junk. In this case some hand-me-down baby blankets junk which I never used for my babies, duh. They're also not fancy enough for a second hand shop or a charity, so I'm okay with cutting them up and experimenting with the fabric.

As my friend says: I'm gonna Rachel Maksy this sweatshirt.

As anyone who's not colorblind can see, the colours do not really match the inspo. But that's ok, we'll see where the gods of improvisation will take us.

What an artistic portrayal of possibilities!

I ended up choosing the one circled in green due to the amount of fabric in different colours I had. If you ask me, all of them look like hockey shirts. That's probably thanks to my astounding drawing skills!

So I drafted a pattern by copying two of my already existing sweatshirt and some help from YouTube.

Pattern pieces pinned in place.

Of course my dumb ass forgot to add seam allowance which means I'll have to trace every piece of the pattern onto the fabric again. But that's a tomorrow's me problem.

In case you thought sewing is fast, this part took me around three hours. Yay!

To be continued...
