Now that I've conquered my fear of knits, I decided to try Thread Theory's Finlayson Sweater. They have an entire sew-along tutorial on their website, so I won't bore you with a lot of construction details.

The theme today for #sewapril2021 is jackets. I made this jacket for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner back in 2017. It's sort of a tyrolean / little French jacket mashup. I'm sure Coco just rolled over in her grave! I hacked the design from #burda7291. The Donegal wool fabric was handwoven by my mom, so it's a special, special occasion jacket. The trims and bronze buttons are from @mjtrimming. Lined with silk charmeuse, but of course!
Today's theme for #sewapril2021 is a knit top. I had to dig deep into my archive to find this, because I'm the most "knit-phobic" sewist out there. This is the Finlayson sweater by Thread Theory, which I've hacked with a loop and horn toggle closure. The fabric is a wool and mohair sweater knit purchased years ago from @metrotextiles. This sweater is lined with wool jersey so it's quite heavy. It gets worn only on the coldest winter days. #sewapril2021, #mainelydad , #mainelymenswear ,#imakemyownclothes , #rylissbod , #fiberstofabric , #finlaysonsweater #knitsscareme, @rylissbod , @fiberstofabric
Today's theme for #sewapril2021 is a woven top. I love making shirts. This one is made with Liberty's Hello Kitty Tana lawn that was given to me by a blog follower. She wanted to see "what I could do with it". There wasn't enough for a whole shirt so I combined it with two colors of gingham. This is what the crazy uncle wears for Easter. #sewapril2021 , #mainelydad, #mainelymenswear , #rylissbod , #fiberstofabric , #grasserpatterns, #wovenshirt, #imakemyownclothes , #shirtmaking, @rylissbod , @fiberstofabric, #libertyhellokitty
