A Matching Bolero

What was my eyelet dress missing?  A matching coverup, of course!


With very limited leftovers, I decided that I wanted to make myself a little bolero.


Butterick 6354 was easy to find (especially important these days since I have not completely recovered from my move) and even better, did not require much yardage.


I decided that I would not underline this piece with the cotton voile, which left me a dilemma . . . how to finish those raw edges.


And, once again, Hug Snug came to my rescue!


I did not have a perfect color match, but I think these tones work together nicely, and if anyone notices, they are way too close, anyway.


I just love it when a plan comes together!

  3. You are amazing to be able to move, sew and blog. I am a bit jealous of all your talents and wish I could be as productive in knitting and sewing as you are.
