I dragged myself from my sickbed to make this shirt for Mitch last week. He needed a cozy warm layer for biking and running. I LOVE this pattern. It is an amazing fit and goes together in a flash. Seriously, zipper and all, this took a little over an hour to sew once it was all cut out. Good thing, since I felt like crap.
Since I intended this to be a layering piece, for under a water/windproof layer, I slimmed it down to fit a little closer to the body. Mitch loves the fit this way, so this will be a change I'll make to this top any time I make it. This version is made from a thin microfleece. It is very soft and super stretchy.
I topstitched the zip this time. It is a little better centered, I think. He wore it on our date night the other night, and our friend who was watching the wee ones, and who knows I sew, couldn't believe I made it. She thought I got it at Old Navy. Hee-hee. That makes me smile!
I've been sewing a ton with fleece lately, and I love it! I think I'll consolidate a few tips a tricks for y'all when I'm feeling a little better. Stay tuned!
