Friday Trends to Sew: February 27th, 2015

Sweaters, sweaters, sweaters.

If you aren't making them, you should be.

Again, find lightweight human sweaters and knits, slice and dice and re-make into doll sweaters.

That is the science of making doll sweaters without knitting/crocheting them yourself!

Longline cardigans.

Drapey cardigans.

Boxy sweaters.

Comfy cableknits.

Moto styling.

Chunky, textured, striped.

Oversize, over the butt.

Embrace your inner sweater-lover!

Forever21 is great for full ensemble inspirations.

Dear Bloggy Friends!

Deb of Debonair Designs wrote to us about her new knitting book
project for Kidz N Cats dolls...

Here is her blog post on the project:

http://debonairdesignsblogspot.blogspot.com/2015/02/kalendar-kidz-my-new-pattern-book.html

"I am embarking on a new knitting pattern book (my 3rd) called Kalendar Kidz, designs for the slim bodied Kidz 'n' Cats dolls, (see working cover image below), however my challenge is getting my computer upgraded/rebuilt in order to support the file sizes needed to both compile and send my book to print. 

So my husband suggested I create a campaign to raise funds needed for this via a Kickstarter project that went live a couple of days ago, so I wanted to share in both my new book and my project that your readers may be interested in supporting. Thanks Deb"
