I woke up and got right to work on the L'Enveloppe and completed the 'sleeve' section of the poncho.
I had to give the stockinette edges a good steam so they didn't roll.
It was good but I decided to close up the slit on the side, seen here, and then I added I-cord around the whole edge of the garment and even the collar.
One side has the seam sewn up leaving an armhole
and the other side is more of the open poncho style;
this way the poncho stays put and you don't have to pull it to keep it on straight!
And it can be worn with the arm in either side so for me-
I can wear it with the warm or cool colors in the front.
Brilliant.
And here I am ready to wear it to church this chilly 62F morning!
(it is Nemo photo bombing me with his best side presented)
Oh that looks fabulous on you! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove you little ginger bomber too!
I'm not a poncho person but I might make an exception for that one! Love your design revisions to make it work better for you (and two for one! Bonus!).
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like this! The colors will work for casual and dressy.
