Friends, every year about this time Fall sewing starts to pop in to my mind. Long before we have passed the dog days of Summer, I start to get the itch to stitch all things Fall!
With that in mind I have been perusing the deep dark hole of fabrics available on the internet. I came across these two fabrics on Mood this week and I wanted to squee with delight!
If you have been reading the blog for very long, you may remember this raglan t-shirt I made last Fall. It was one of my most viewed posts back then.
I used a dimensional (I called it quilted at the time) knit for the body and cuffs of this shirt. Now, I am seeing that Oil Blue Paisley Knit used with a steel gray sleeve and cuff for this Fall! You can check out the Heather Black/Charcoal Paisley Knit here. I can honestly say that this shirt was one of my absolute most warn garments last Fall and Winter. You may take pause when you see that the cost of this great fabric is $25 a yard. With the pattern that I used from GreenStyleCreations I only needed a yard of 58 or 60 inch fabric to make the body pieces and cuffs. When you add in another half yard of a different knit for the sleeves and collar, you could easily make this shirt for $30 with a really nice fabric. This dimensional knit is 9% virgin wool! It is going to be warm and cozy, like pajamas you can wear in public.
Friends, I am not associated with Mood Fabrics. I don't get any special treatment or any kind of kickback for showing you this fabric. I am only pointing it out, because I am buying it and so many people reached out last year to find out where I got the original fabric for the shirt above that I knew I had to share as soon as I saw it.
So, what would you make with these lovely knits? I can see sew many possibilities!

Go for it! It's gorgeous. Mood carries a lot of textured knits worth discovering.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin. I whole heatedly agree!
DeleteWow! That's gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteI am anxious for it to get here! I will my creative juices coming back!
DeleteFeel, not will! I must quit commenting from my phone!!!
DeleteThat fabric is amazing. I love both the colour ways. Is it too light for leggings/jeggings? I think a pair made in this with a long top would look ace for the winter. It looks very cozy and luxe. Looking forward to seeing what you make. Xx
ReplyDeleteOh, MoR! I didn't even think about leggings. May have to go back and order more. It would be perfect weight for leggings with great recovery that wouldn't stretch out as the day goes by. Thanks for that wonderful idea!!!
