...this is a catch up post of sorts. I have been doing a little sewing, and as a matter of fact jumped in on a new challenge called #SewTwistsandTies sponsored by
Meg of CookinandCraftin because it sounded like an easy and fun challenge. I had just recently purchased Butterick 6621, had had NewLook 6348 lurking in my stash for quit a while, and wanted to put a slight dent in my infamous
knit stripped fabric collection.

I've already figured out that I am a bit obsessed with knit stripes! |

It was love at first sight with this pattern, yet it has lingered in my stash for quite some time. So now was the time to get it done. |

Who doesn't love a great stripped knit skirt - I know I do. |

I thought I'd love the wrap but turns out I didn't, |

So I just cut it off and loved the tie just the same. |
It's a good sewing year thus far, now to keep it up...
