Cashmerette Springfiled #3: Nani Iro Edition

June 11, 2017

I sewed up this Springfield yesterday with Nani Iro double gauze I bought at Finch.

I’ve been seeing a lot of the other print I liked at the shop, and was having a little buyer’s remorse because it looks so nice. This came out just like my mock-up, but I wasn’t entirely sold. It also obviously fits differently than the rayon, and is a lot stiffer than the other Nani Iro DG I’ve used in the past. I think it’s growing on me though, as I’ve already worn it a few times. Also, this one got a crazy response on Instagram. I think it’s the amazing shade of blue catching everyone’s eyes.

The only change I made to this version was having to take the front waist in about 3/4″ on each side.

I’ll definitely be making more Springfields! Next up though, Rachel’s t-shirt, and maybe altering some stuff that isn’t fitting quite right. I also have denim on the way for some Ginger Jeans shorts, an Appleton wrap top kit, and my eyes on the Emerson pants from True Bias (maybe with some of the marimekko linen). And of course, I still have a bunch of other fabric to work my way through.

We met 40 years ago as tiny bebes in the park, and through the years we drifted apart several times but always found each other again at various dance recitals, school field trips, beach clubs, fabric stores, and summer jobs. The universe kept shoving us together til it stuck. This quilt is a hug from afar. I might not be able to get up to New Jersey frequently but this quilt will be there for cozy/comforting times as needed. 

I picked out my fabric, then used a quilt generator at savoreverystitch.com (the last slide), then imported it into Photoshop and colored over it (second to last slide), basically changing the whole thing, but it was an awesome starting place.
