I’ve finished up the last of the fairy printed fleecy fabric and made a windcheater for Miss Clare.

I am really over both pink and fairy, but she can’t seem to get enough of either!  This matches the skirt and cape lining that I posted about earlier. 

It has taken me over a week to make this in 5 minute snatches of time at a go.  At least it is done now – although it would have only taken about half an hour from start to finish if I’d had that time all in one block!  I drafted my own pattern from a windcheater Clare already had (after all, how hard could it be to trace around a simple flat windcheater?)  And thanks to the Knitwit course that I did back in the early 1990’s (stretch sewing classes – they still sell stretch fabric but no longer run the classes) I had notes to remind me of how to do ribbed neck and sleeve bands.  See, if you don’t throw out these sorts of things eventually they will come in handy again!
