There is a new Fibre Mood * released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater . The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley.

Our girls love their cardigan, they are totally into these fluffy, soft fabrics. For our middle daughter (with the fox fabric) I sewed the band and cuffs with the right sides together so that the fluffy fabri...
