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 girl picked out the fabric herself, at least the fireworks fabric. I picked out the matching fabric. The print works well with the large piece. The sweater is a bit roomy, that is because there is a size 6 and a size 8 and she doesn't fit in the size 6, but the size 8 is still a bit big on her. Well she can grow into it.

I of course made the pants with the most colour blocking, but you can also make the pants with one front panel (without the pleats) or just in one fabric. I love the pleats, the pleats are why they are called railway joggers. They look like railway tracks. Sofiona Designs is a new Canadian pattern designer duo that is releasing four new patterns at once. The Railway Joggers are one of them. I sewed another one of the patt...
