Honeymoon Wardrobe Planning
I haven done a planning post in a while, because lately my plans have gone awry. The last time I planned was in my Sewing Blahs post and even with three things I didn achieve them at all. I made a M6754, but it wasn even the one I planned at all because of raglan sleeve issues that I was too lazy to resolve. I used to love planning posts. I like to bring them back! Maybe not one a season, though. That got kind of nutty for me.

I seriously need lots of tops in my wardrobe. Seriously.

I already have a possibly wearable muslin for this, but I think the pattern drafting might have an error in it.

The fabric is canada goose https://www.canadagooseoutletcoats.com outlet store calgary a thick sweater knit.
