BWOF 10/2005 - 114 Pullover

Continuing on my quick-to-make-non-dress sewing kick I made another version of this popular BWOF pattern.

I bought this brown/white sweater knit fabric at the textile market in Sham Shui Po, it was the last piece and I think cost the grand sum of HK$20 (about US$2.50).

This was super quick and easy to make, I did it all on my serger, apart from the topstitched seam at the collar, even the hem edges are just serged. A more modern finish or pure laziness on my part? The only other change I made to the pattern was to lengthen it by around 6 inches.

(I am wearing the black skirt from my previous post in these pictures, not that you can see much of it.)

  13. I can't believe that whole top cost about $2.50! Doesn't that sort of thing just make you love sewing?

    This looks really cozy, but stylish (sometimes sweaters can be so frumpy). Love it!
