Jumpers

The kids really needed some jumpers and I have had so much trouble in finding patterns for simple jumpers without hoods! Hood drive me insane! So I went back to Mum's trusty old Kwik Sew Master Patterns for Toddlers. Here is a link to the book if you haven't seen it before. I tried numerous times last year to make some track suits and jumpers for A1 without success. I find the Kwik Sew patterns too wide and I am hopeless at altering patterns. I decided to have a go again this year with them and just make them. I was surprised! The jumpers have turned out fabulous. A1 is probably more in proportion this year, rather than last year I found the sleeves way too wide for her. A2 is perfect "normal" size.

A2's jumper I made to match the pants from the previous outfit, seeing the jumper from that outfit wasn't so great.

I LOVE the jumper fabric. I picked it up at Textile Traders for an absolute bargain of $4 a metre. It is such thick and good quality fleece. I think I have about 4m of it! Although, I might be one of the few who actually like it. My husband "doesn't like the brown"! Well I do! I think the brown and pink go really nicely together and is so different from lots of other fabric you see or bought items.
