Planning and Design
I made this 6 years ago (I checked my EBay order history lol) so don’t remember everything. But I do recall seeing Pearl in this in Octo Expansion and thinking it was the perfect excuse to buy minky fleece from the Korean fabric store on EBay that I had been eyeing for a long time 😁
I don’t remember where the original pattern came from, but the one I still have was obviously adjusted from a commercial one.
Materials
- Pattern:
- Unknown Modified Commercial Pattern
- Fabric:
- Baby Pink and Lemon Soft Minky Fleece (EBay)
Construction
I vaguely remember being worried about not using ribbing for the cuffs and hem but it turned out fine 😊 If I were to make this again now though, I would definitely try the ‘make your own ribbing’ technique in order to try and get it even more accurate to the original design. Or try to find a matching ribbing, there are a lot more fabric options available nowadays.
Reflections
Surprisingly, I have worn this quite a lot even though I don’t like pink. Helps that I do love lemon yellow I guess 😁 Also since it’s not obviously game related means I don’t have to limit where/who I wear this in front of lol. I also adore the feel of the minky fleece. It must be good quality fabric (as expected from Korea) since it still looks brand new imo.
Things I learnt:
- Being very careful about fabric direction!
