This is one of my preferred materials (and preferred patterns). (You may acknowledge the material from this dress—which I still wear—and this one, which I took apart as well as from which a few of this yardage was recovered.)
The pattern is the Grainline Farrow, customized a bit to turn it into a jumper. (The Farrow has a sleeveless version, which is not rather the exact same as a jumper version …)
Farrow back (The bright dots on these pics are sunlight—weird for where I live, I know!)
Because I didn’t have much fabric, I type of took a “this is deliberate” method to just choosing a stripe direction for every major section as well as rolling with it. The center front stripe below the pocket isn’t rather best however … eh. “Good sufficient for Zoom”, that’s my new motto.

I’ve made a few other Farrow jumpers, mainly in denim/heavy twill/corduroy, however I don’t believe I’ve blogged any type of of them. They’re quite utilitarian, however make a fantastic work-from-home uniform with a long-sleeved tee as well as leggings underneath. (If you’d told my eighteen-year-old self that someday I would wear Birkenstocks as well as socks daily for a year, BY CHOICE, I’m quite sure she would have looked at you with horror.)
I’ve been trying to plan out much more jobs that will sew down my stash/remnant pile. (I believed that making a metric faceton of masks, a braided cloth rug, as well as sufficient 2″ squares for a king-size quilt would have taken care of the remnant issue however … lol no. comments are open for recommendations …) This is the very first of two (the other is a buffalo-plaid fringe that I hope to surface this week, it’s all done however the neck facing/waist seam/hemming/shouting).
