Sewing a jumper with New Look pattern 6446

Sewing to the Moon new look pattern 6446
Let's make a jumper! Grab some fun fabric and you'll have a new garment in an afternoon.

Fall is in the air, but that won't stop me from wearing this jumper. No way! The days are warm and the nights are chilly. Jumpers are a great seasonal transition piece. Add a sweater and some chucks, and you're set.

This is half sew along and half review. It's not a complete step by step. Hopefully you'll get some useful info out of it though.

​Most of the summer was spent enjoying beautiful weather, great friends, resort pools, and camping.
My friend stayed with us for a week and we squeezed in some sewing time. And, the jumper was finished at another friends house while I visited her. Ha!! Yes, having sewing friends in real life is amazing. #findyourtribe

Grab the New Look Pattern 6446. You won't regret it! There are tons of tutorials on this pattern online and You Tube. 

I chose to use this fabric that I've had since 2015. Yikes!
I bought 3 yards at Joann fabrics in the clearance section. It's an extremely soft, thick knit. I used a 16" invisible zipper and coordinating white thread.

Vintage Sewing notions and pattern

Vintage sewing finds. Notions and patterns Sewing to the Moon
My mama gave me a small bag of vintage sewing things she found while rummaging through the garage. She thought I might like them, and she was right! So, I had to share.

Red lace seam binding. I use this for finishing a hem on a skirt usually.

There were a few vintage zippers still in the packages. I love the info on the zipper packaging. I love the 70s pattern too. The pattern insert is so easy and simple. Why can't patterns be as simple as they were back then? The back of the envelope is easy to read as well.

    Hi there, I'm Annette and I love eating and sewing. I usually have a cup of coffee or tea with me, but not next to my machine because I'd probably spill it. I am the reason we can't have nice things.
