Unpromising beginnings

Instagram

I haven’t been feeling very Instagrammy lately - a combination of the lockdown situation and a busy time at work. But the springier weather is helping so here’s something I made earlier I can share.
It’s the season for snuggly jumpers and this one has been the longest coming of any of my makes to date.
Using up some old thread from my stash for machine basting today. Looking at the writing on the reel, this one is definitely getting on a bit..!
This definitely makes my #sewingtop5 for 2020. An IKEA hack cutting table and a DIY pegboard have made it easier to store supplies, and quicker to start on new projects.
