Sew & Knit

I have actually been sewing longer than I have been knitting. I have been sewing for 18 years, yikes! I have a wedding in NYC this weekend and needed something hip to wear! This is what I came up with.

Alterations-I took my measurements and followed the recommended size, needless to say it was HUGE, so I had to alter it like crazy to get it to fit and look proportional. Next time I will go down to my "normal clothing" size. And I added darts in the top.
