My daughter usually goes for whatever is prettiest, but interestingly she hasn't even been tempted by her collection of pretty cardis since she tried on the red hoodie on Saturday :) so I think it'd be worth a try...Gabrielle Corbettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-41226572801993387202014-07-08T18:27:59.872+10:002014-07-08T18:27:59.872+10:00You're so right - all the girl's cardigans...You're so right - all the girl's cardigans and jumpers are thin and not at all warm.

I'm occasionally working on my glorious cardigan, but seriously sometimes I'd just prefer a glass of wine and some mindless tv. I was going to start a fabulous Tokyo jacket, but was heartbroken when my planned stash fabric was too small (border print, so no short cuts or weird piecing possible), so I'm going to get onto a Libby skirt as that seems easy enough to knock over and I neeeeeeed a skirt. In the meantime I need to find a kimono style jacket pattern to use my stash fabric as it truly needs to be a kimono :) maybe I'll just draft one...SewJillianhttp://www.sewunravelled.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-67553074216511194392014-07-08T16:50:53.852+10:002014-07-08T16:50:53.852+10:00Oh dear, we went through a stage of no jackets, no...Oh dear, we went through a stage of no jackets, no gloves, no hats and no blankets with my son when he was little. And it coincided with a trip to New York in April, where it snowed! I swear everyone thought we were cruel parents... Hopefully your daughter will move on from this phase by next winter :). <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear you're so busy - you mentioned how much you had on in a recent blog post, didn't you... No knitting either? I get a bit cranky when I don't get any sewing time, so I hope the lack of craft isn't driving you nuts! Can you at least do some sketches of what you *want* to do, for future reference?Gabrielle Corbettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-33497682165983219322014-07-08T15:49:06.638+10:002014-07-08T15:49:06.638+10:00Oh man if only my little one would wear a pullover...Oh man if only my little one would wear a pullover. They look super cozy and in my humble opinion, supercool. Apparently I know nothing though when it comes to my 4 year old. And selfish sewing? There's no crafting of any sort going on over here at Casa SewJillian. 2014 is turning into a super ridiculous year. I need more time!

Thank you Margo, I guess on the plus side it sews quickly and doesn't fray. And actually the top stitching is just like for other stretch fabrics, it's more the edge stitching that's challenging - late night blogging, I mixed up my terminology!Gabrielle Corbettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-47370717996732807412014-07-08T08:12:36.182+10:002014-07-08T08:12:36.182+10:00Thanks Merche!
