Kwik Sew 2948 - more red and black

As promised I used up the rest of my red and black spandex mix fabric by sewing another Kwik Sew 2948 twin set.

I only had enough of the black and red fabric to make the vest from the twin set and just enough to cut the front band of the cardigan creating a nice contrast.

I scooped out the neck again for the vest bringing it lower than the original pattern, which I think looks a little nicer, especially if the fabric is busy and here is the result of my efforts.

I don't have a photographer available to show me wearing this, but I have tried it on and it fits great.

I have been using my shoulder pressing tool to press the sleeve caps of the tops I have been making, and boy it is so much easier, and is stable enough to hold the whole cardigan leaving both hands free for moving the garment and pressing.

Here are all the garments shown together, creating a sort of mini wardrobe from the 5 pieces and a pair of jeans.  These will work well with black work pants or a black skirt and heels (next on my list).

I can wear the plain black cardigan with the red and black vest, or the long-sleeved top, etc etc.

I think to build on this mini wardrobe I need to make myself a black skirt soon to go with all the pieces.

That's me done with my sewing for the weekend.  I hope you have all had a productive weekend.

Catch you later.............
