Perri Pullover for Stella
Finally, I have modelled photos of the Perri Pullover that I made for Stella back in May! Taking photos of her with just de-braided hair was really part of a sneaky plan to get photos of her outfit…..
Most of the details are in the review of Clare’s Perri Pullover. The fabric is from Spotlight, a brushed sweatshirt knit, and the fabric for the bands, inseam pockets and matching leggings came from Darn Cheap Fabrics.
It’s hard to remember now (reminder to self: blog about finished garments AS SOON AS they are made because otherwise the details evaporate into the ether) but I think that I cut this out in size 6 length but size 4 width. It has the same slouchy look as Clare’s and mine.
As with Clare’s, I left the neckband the same width as the hem and sleeve bands. I like the high-low hem, and the band on the bottom curves it in nicely. But that neckline is definitely wide and a little too Flashdance for Stella’s liking. She was happiest wearing it layered over a long-sleeved, higher-necked tee.
This is a cute pattern for the kids – and Clare has worn hers quite a lot – but mine is going to be donated. Just too loose on me, even though I’m currently at my heaviest, and the neckline drives me nuts. I found the Day Tripper top to have similar design lines but a much better fit on me. I’m glad that the kids like theirs! And the whole family enjoyed the “big hair”.
They’re both such cuties.
Lovely little girls… We are lucky mums.
I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your vacation so much. I am awaiting seeing the things you make with the fabric you bought.
Stella certainly looks pleased with herself and her new tunic! The big hair certainly suits the Flashdance theme!
