Stash Buster #14 - Red-Hooded Finlayyyyyyson! Dub, Dub, Dub

Another month, another Finlayson - This time a small for DS (the Elder).

 

So we are clear - my little buddy LOVES hoodies.  He loves his hoodies like Adam Sandler loves his (The YouTube Video can be found here)  I made this one out of a cozy lightweight thermal (waffle-knit) rosy red.

We have tired of his constant silhouette.  Hoods are NOT ALLOWED at the table, and never up in the house or as a substitute for a toque. We are in Canada - it's this cold:

The sweatshirt?  A total success - 1.5m busted!

New Plans - the list is overwhelming!

For Myself:

View A of Simplicity 1620 is traced, adjusted and ready for a wearable muslin.

I am going straight to a wearable muslin because of what I read in the reviews on PatternReview.com

 - I just adjusted for my hip measurement.

A blue Georgette will be combined with A brown Batik for a Top B, I think.
The rest of the batik will be a pair of shorts, I think.
And the red Hunting plaid border print will be a tunic length of Dress A, to be worn with a belt.

Also - I need to whip up BurdaStyle Scene Queen Shirt 130A-112014-US for the Burda Challenge.

For DS the Elder:  A red thermal Finlayson and several pair of pajama pants.  He has also agreed to some shorts with pockets (cargo shorts I believe he means) - I will be using the Jedediah Pants pattern, I think - he's a 28, but I'll bet he would like them baggy.

For DS the Younger: I want to try an oliver + s pattern: Tea Party Sundress Romper - at the bottom of the picture (View D) I have some cute light weight denim and some red piping.  It will be the only darling thing anyone will let me make for him for a while....

For A: likely several oliver + s Family Reunion Dresses - I am going to teach a class, and I want to practice it over and over.  I have also offered to make a Anna Dress and I am secretly also making a Cinderella Dress using McCalls' Frozen Costume pattern - watch for a blog posting on that one.

For DH: A request has been issued (from He who never requests) - and his request shall result in a lightweight knit front zip hoodie - using the Burda Young pattern 7734

Stash Buster #9: Valentine's Giftie for my Hubby - A Luscious Striped Finlayson

The Finlayson is vying for the most used pattern in my stash right now.  My DH has a Grey one and this one.  My DF has a BEAUTIFUL ponte one.  My Size S DS (the elder) has one and there is another on my sewing mat right now.

I have made this in Jersey, Ponte, Heavy Weight Knit, and next is a lightweight thermal

This one is in a heavy weight knit - has great body, and looks great on DH (I added a little width to the front above the waistline this time - he's not shy in it at all)  He has worn it 4 times.  <GRIN>

I am proud of the stripe matching at the shoulder and sides of this one.

I have just enough left to do some accent pieces for another one for my son - Stash Buster #13(ish)
