How many patterns do you have that you have never sewn? I have too many. Especially pdf patterns, which you would think I would only buy if I was going to use them right away. Somehow it doesn't work like that. Anyway, I am glad that I finally made up the Jasper Sweater Dress by Paprika Patterns.
I shortened the dress by about 7 cm. It doesn't feel too short, but looking at these photos, perhaps I cut off a tad too much.
The dress has princess seaming. I didn't make a big deal of trying to pattern match, but I did try to keep the deer lined up all on the same level.
The fabric is a French terry by See you at Six. I bought it, and the matching ribbing, from Maai Design. I didn't have enough ribbing for the cuffs (I was planning something different when I bought the fabric), so I made the sleeves longer and hemmed them.
I wish I had remembered to take a close-up of the button. It matches perfectly. I found it in the jar of Liberty buttons given to me by a friend.
