Happy 2020 everyone! This is my first post of the year, and I'm looking forward to a great sewing year. I've got all kinds of plans! I had been thinking about making some new turtleneck sweaters, when I saw the Talvikki Sweater pattern from the Finnish pattern company- Named. It had some really interesting shaping darts at the neckline, and I liked how boxy it was. So, I decided that it would be a fun take on a turtleneck and gave it a try- actually four tries! This is a version that I made for my daughter from vintage velour. I've actually been holding on to this piece of fabric since the 70's!!!! Doesn't it look great on her?
