CKC Serenity - My Dressed Up Sweater

I missed out on the tester call for the first version of this sweater, and I was a bit sad while I watched all of the testers turn theirs in. So... when there was a version 2, I jumped on it! 😉

This is a new sweater by CKC patterns - it's called "Serenity." It is an easy pattern that goes together very quickly!

The Pattern:

The pattern is for a cute almost-off-the-shoulder sweater. It has a slightly relaxed fit, really cute balloon sleeves, and a kangaroo pocket.

The top pattern goes together kind of like a raglan tee, but it's a much wider neckline. I'd say it's somewhere between a wide boatneck and off the shoulder.

It is SO quick, because NO HEMMING! That's right 😉, bands everywhere!

My Top:

I made my sweater using some sweater knit I've had in my stash for a while.... I had been hanging onto it trying to decide what I would make. When I saw this pattern, I knew it would be perfect for it. For the bands, you need something with good recovery - I used DBP for my bands. I also used DBP for the kangaroo pocket lining because I thought the sweater might be too thick for both layers.

I don't know how you feel about them, but the balloon sleeves just make the pattern to me! 😍

I love how it turned out! It feels kind of dressy to me, so I'm loving it paired with my pearls. I'm REALLY looking forward to wearing it for a date night! 😊

Thanks for Reading 💗

The Tank Dress 3-ways by Pattern Emporium

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens! But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post. If you choose to purchase a Pattern from Pattern Emporium using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The pattern I tested is from Pattern Emporium. I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I
