The items I sewed were all for the ASG Convention in Auckland next month. I made 2 pairs of ponte pants - one black, one brown. I don't really need to show you photos of them, do I? I also made a brown top to match said brown ponte pants.
It's the top from Simplicity 2148. A pretty basic design with only 3 pieces (front, back & neckband). I did an FBA & rotated it into the centre front gathers, took about 2cm off the width of the neckband and changed the side seams to 1/4" as the sleeve was quite snug.

Size 16 at neck, 24 at sides
Fabric from The Remnant Warehouse $8.95 per metre
I also made 2 cardigans but as only 1 is completely finished, that's all I can show you. This one is burgundy to match the burgundy outfit for Convention (excuse the brown pants & the windswept hair). I added about 3" to the length after my last version was much too short.

Very nice indeed. I am so envious of your retreat. I couldn't make. I see you made good use of your time. Great top. I have that same fabric so it is wonderful to see it made up - especially in the pattern that was raved about on the industry day. Looks fab on you. Great cardi too. Your Auckland wardrobe is coming along nicely.
It was a fantastic weekend and you have got yourself some wonderful pieces from it for the Convention.
You are so lucky to be be to get away for such great retreats! I love that top and the cardi looks like a great wardrobe piece too.
Loving your top and cardy. I was pleased to realise I had that KS pattern already, so now it's been pulled out. :)
