Great Archer- looks so comfy! So jealous of your trip to the Grand Canyon-went a few months ago and it quickly became my favorite place. Perfect photo oop! Also been looking for a good pattern for a man's top and the McCalls one looks awesome- might have to check it out! Beautiful projects! <br />www.trishstitched.comTrishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-81429583392501973122015-03-19T13:53:45.861-07:002015-03-19T13:53:45.861-07:00Thanks, Sonja!!

I think it's the only state left in the west/southwest I haven't been to... <br /><br />And Stretch & Sew 100 is a great pattern - if a little sparse on directions. If you've made the Linden, then it's a piece of cake. It did take me a few practice runs to get the fit just right - but totally worth it. Looks like there are 2 on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/193673882/stretch-sew-100-1960s-mens-pullover?ref=market and https://www.etsy.com/listing/219167855/stretch-sew-100-mens-raglan-sleeve-shirt?ref=market) The first one seems to have the same illustration as mine, but with all sizes... where the 2nd one has the same limited sizes mine does, but with a different illustration.Katie Jacockshttp://handmadethreads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-43540243351370124362015-03-19T08:53:00.566-07:002015-03-19T08:53:00.566-07:00Oh man, I love the west...

I've driven through Arizona (on the way to LA), but not spent much time there, but used to spend time with a friend's family in New Mexico and LOVED it! It's so beautiful! Your photos are awesome! <br /><br />Love both shirts! I'll have to track down a copy of the Stretch & Sew pattern- I haven't been able to find a basic raglan pullover pattern for my dude and I'm nervous about drafting one. This version looks perfect! And way to go finishing up your sewing list- you've got a great handmade wardrobe!Gingerhttp://gingermakes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-18823165346490362402015-03-19T07:47:45.351-07:002015-03-19T07:47:45.351-07:00Thanks, Sophie-Lee!

I usually use my regular foot, edge foot, and quarter inch foot on everything! <br /><br /><br />And thank you so much for reminding me about the bias. I was in such a knit world, that I totally forgot about that feature of wovens/low stretch fabrics... I will remember for next time!! :DKatie Jacockshttp://handmadethreads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-1549076478314647642015-03-18T10:28:22.079-07:002015-03-18T10:28:22.079-07:00Thank you, Hilde, I agree!!

And being from the Midwest, I know all about flat land... the smaller mountains in Southern California still surprise me sometimes (especially when it's 90 degrees, and there's still snow on the mountains: my favorite).Katie Jacockshttp://handmadethreads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-19644678838611098542015-03-18T00:55:19.645-07:002015-03-18T00:55:19.645-07:00Oh and how rude of me - great job on finishing you...Oh and how rude of me - great job on finishing your winter list!

Ooh you'll be pleased to know I'm sure that I followed your advice and have sourced an edge stitching foot - now just need to make the time to go get it! Also, this isn't something I've tried, but have read about as being successful - if you want to make a neck band from knit fabric that's not super stretchy try cutting it on the bias.Sarah - Fabric Tragichttp://Www.fabrictragic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-20063243744611211402015-03-17T23:12:25.273-07:002015-03-17T23:12:25.273-07:00Beautiful scenery for that plaid Archer!

As if it was made for it ;) I've visited the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago & it's beauty is unparalleled I think (I am from the Netherlands, so almost anything that isn't flat lands is extraordinary...) <br /><br /><br />Looking forward to your Spring plans!Hildehttp://www.forest-and-co.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-40841204858444068712015-03-17T18:27:55.260-07:002015-03-17T18:27:55.260-07:00Thanks, Heather!!!

It almost made me wonder what it would be like to live there... then I quickly changed my mind. hahaha Amazing though!<br /><br />And I cannot wait to post about the t-shirts... I've made 4 so far, and we're almost at a perfect fit for the raglan and the regular sleeve. The Strathcona is way too tight for Jeremy too in the shoulders. I want to make him pants from their patterns, but I don't know how roomy they'll be after how tight the henley was.Katie Jacockshttp://handmadethreads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879159394122516542.post-1254005055770095892015-03-17T14:34:42.994-07:002015-03-17T14:34:42.994-07:00Looks like a great and beautiful trip!!

I couldn't get over how incredibly beautiful it all was/is. Nature is a powerful thing, isn't it?<br />I love your plaid archer, and I bet it was nice and cozy this winter! It's so great to have a go to pattern for a button up!<br />You did a great job on your list - I really love all your makes (and I would have easily picked your Rigel Bomber as a fav too!). <br />I am always on the look out for a Men's T-shirt pattern for the dudes in my life. I tried out the Strathcona Henley, but it's much too fitted for my guys. I'm interested to see how the one's you make Jeremy turn out. (And how awesome is it that he wanted fabric as a gift!! Arisewna!! LOL).Heatherhttp://www.whereheathergrows.com/noreply@blogger.com
