When life gives you lemons…
…Make an Apron!!!!
I love it!
Dear fellow seamstresses,
I've been following this great blog for a while but never
dared to comment. I'm so sorry that the first time I write
here has to be to ask for help!
I need a FREE sewing pattern to make a cowl neck sweater (like
THIS ONE). I have a fancy dress
(costume) party on Saturday 12 December 2009. I must go
dressed as Velma from Scooby Doo.
Unfortunately orange is not in fashion this year and I can't
find an orange cowl neck sweater in shops.
I've thought of finding some orange fabric and sewing this
sweater myself, but I don't want to spend money on a pattern
(I never wear cowl neck sweaters). But I can't find any on the
web and I'm running out of time, the party is on Saturday and
I'm a beginner at sewing so it will take me long to sew it!
If anyone could help me with this, I would be grateful forever
(and join his/her blog, of course!)
I'm sorry if this cry for help bothered anyone, normally I
don't do this, but I'm desperate now.
Thank you for brightening up my days with your contributions
to the sewing blogosphere!
Greetings, Rebeca
Thanks everyone
Rebeca–What about buying a non-cowl neck sweater, and sewing/crocheting/knitting a cowl separately? Good luck with your costume!
Dear LibrariAnon,
) must have very little trust in my sewing abilities, as they did their best to discourage me from trying to sew a sweater in such little time.
Thank you very much for your quick answer! It's a very good idea, I hadn't thought of that.
In any case the problem is solved. My loved ones (not so loved after this
So, for the last time, I pushed myself through the crowds of the city centre, visited a hundred stores, and finally managed to find a decent orange sweater. It cost me a fortune, but at least I can wear it after the party, if I can stand the cowl neck.
But just in case anyone is interested in finding a pattern like this, I have found this. You can add a rectangular piece of fabric for the cowl neck, and you're all set.
So thank you for your help, and by the way, that is a lovely apron. Beauuuutiful fabric. My mother is looking for apron patterns and she is going to love this one!
Looks awesome! I have used the same pattern and like it.
Speaking of sewing, have you checked out the http://www.WeAllSew.com website yet? Lots of free patterns, tutorials, and links to other sewers on the web!
Rebeca, Try the Burdastyle website. I saw a cowl neck dress there you can download for free. Here is the link: http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/cowl-dress-cowl-top
