For weeks now, I`ve had this great black and white animal print ponte knit in my stash without a clue as what to make of it! I thought it was a great idea when I bought it, and it still was when it arrived. But then I was like: "can I pull of an entire piece with only this animal print? Would that even work?!" So I just put it aside, waiting for the right pattern or idea to come along.
Eventually, I was more and more surtain that it would work just fine if I only could mix in a little neutral in there. Like black! I had a little left from when I made my second Perri Pullowe (not blogged yet. Have to get to it soon.....). It was just enough for 3/4 arms and the neckline+arm lining.
This pattern by the way, is GREAT! Super easy to print and patch up. And you can make it in a million different ways. Go check out "Its Always Autum".
This is one of those patterns I will make again and again, for shure! The fit is perfect for me! I added a band on the bottom of the shirt so it gives a little extra "hug" around the hips.
Now, do you think the animal print is "to much"? Or just right? :)
Den klæder dig virkelig godt - jeg kan også rigtig godt lide at du har valgt at sætte ensfarvede ærmer til. Super basismønster!
ReplyDeleteTakk Mette:)
DeleteGorgeous! I love the dark sleeves, and think they work really well with the animal print.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne! I agree. I thing it would be something totally different with similar colors. This is better:)
DeleteI have t-shirt envy. This is absolutely fab and I love the animal print Tone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the huge compliment Essi! :)
DeleteWere you able to size down Autumn's pattern? I want to make a shirt like yours that is a size S-M. How can I adjust the pattern?
