WOW: WIPs On Wednesdays

Do you like my new Kaffee Fasset knit shirt??

It's this week's finished WIP !

This is a light knit jumper that I’ve always liked wearing. It’s a good shade of red…but the white collar and cuffs have never excited me. Just lately I’ve been having a major clear out and stock take of my wardrobe. Buying a few new things….and trying to ‘release’ other things….Well, I love this jumper and decided it just needed a revamp.

before and after shots:

 It’s been a while since I sewed a shirt collar and cuffs, but why let that stop me? I really love Kaffee prints so my eyes instantly went to my Kaffee stash….but then I was distracted by a few other prints…

These red spots on white were a close call, I seriously considered them ...but finally decided they were too close to the old white.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Then I found some larger pastel dots that I really like….but which don’t really work.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I really loved the blue with orange in this, it would have been a bright flash of colour...but perhaps too bright

 

 

 

I just like it and pink with red can work really well...I especially liked the lime accents...

 

 

 

 

I did love the bold lines of this print – but my DD stepped in with a 'No Way', so that was the end of that. Actually, looking at it now in the photo, I'm sure this print would have been fine...

 

 

Then I found this Kaffee bright I had plans for (I have plans for all my fabric) and instantly fell in love with it. 

 

Yes, I knew I’d love wearing this print

and I think it’s very complimentary.
