It's a drizzly evening, and I'm curled up on the sofa with a big mug of hot cocoa. I'm about to put the finishing touches on my
Destroyed Cowl, and then hopefully sneak in some work on the two trouser muslins I cut out this weekend: a pair of
high waisted pedal pushers and
carrot pants from Burda 11/2009. Before I launch into projecting, though, I wanted to take a moment and share photos of the layered cardigan I finished last week:
The bottom layer is a top I purchased some time ago that was a bit misshapen for my tastes. Enter the jersey ties-- you can't tell from the pictures, but they are stitched on to the sides of the yellow top. The top layer is a little dolman sleeved cardi that I cut out and stitched together before I realized that it was a tad bit too small. Then one day I spied both pieces at the bottom of my sewing pile, and realized they belonged together.

The chartreuse & teal color combination is so cheerful. And the teal cardigan is made of bamboo knit that is both soft and resilient. Such a happy accident that these two pieces ended up together! I might just have to make more tops like this-- maybe even some
Norma Kamali inspired ones. And now back to my regularly scheduled scheming...
