Hi Darlings,
Well as it happens every so often I have lost my mojo. When the "business" of blogging becomes overwhelming and I am in a whirlwind of meetings, calls, planning etc. I often will lose my creative mojo. When this happens I just know that I can't force it, I just need to ride it out until I get a burst of inspiration.
Thankfully I have a few DIY items that I have yet to show you so don't worry, you will still get your fix. Today is a very causal day for me and since I am always cold I pulled out these extra long fingerless gloves I made a few weeks back. These are the best thing ever! since California weather is so unpredictable from moment to moment this makes it super easy to remove layers when it starts to warm up later today.
/ Gap T-shirt /Jessica Simpson Platforms 
Pattern Description: Fingerless Gloves and Shoulder Cape B7287
Pattern Sizing: I cut the smallest size
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing? Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? SO easy!!!! you don't even need instructions for this. If you can sew a straight line you can make these....seriously.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I can NEVER find long enough gloves and since I love wearing t-shirts but don't like my arms being cold this is perfect!
Fabric Used: Black Knit (you can use any stretch fabric for this)
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Yes, I will be making these a lot
Would you recommend it to others? Yes
Very cute! I have been meaning to make some fingerless gloves. I am cold so often, but here we have more of an excuse in MN. ;) I tried on some that were faux leather and knit, but figured I could make them for the price. Now I just have to do it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. xo

So again, thanks for sharing this with us. We ♥you MIMIG. .... there is a light at the end of the rainbow. Ride the rainbow out.
ReplyDeleteLoving this of course, and of course I have to make it. Thanks for the inspiration as usual.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've tried making fingerless gloves before and failed. I will definitely try again. They do make a great layering item for our weather.
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it! I will definitely be making these.
ReplyDeleteThis is hella cute! Though I'm waaaaaay to busty for it. I will rock the fingerless gloves though.
ReplyDeleteI love the combo! Tried to open link for the pattern several times.....won't open.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get those heels?? SOOOO love them <3
ReplyDeleteI mean, do you have a link or a specific store where you bought it? cause i cant seem to find them with just the brand name! I'd be very glad if you told me <3
ReplyDeleteDid you make this? If so, is there a pattern to view or purchase?
