My version of the Sundown Cover Up

The Sundown Coverup was last month's pattern for the Weekend Sewing Club from My Handmade Wardrobe.

Here's my version in size Large. I made it mostly during the Live Sew Along session. The fabric is a novelty knit of some sort. It has a black mesh background with a sort of boucle type yarn knitted into it.

I added 14cm to the length and did a small hem, but left the pockets in the marked place. I made buttonholes and added three large grey buttons from my stash.




The pattern can be made from wovens, knits or quilted fabrics. I liked the knit and quilted versions the best.

Mine is a bit big, though I cut for my measurements, probably because the knit has a lot of give. I also find the neckline  comes away from my neck and isn't very cosy.
