Pullover Mania!

So I got carried away with the pullovers that I made last year. It's Butterick 5100.
Originally I made the blue sweatshirt version linked above along with a dark grey & a navy blue. I never got around to taking pictures of the other. Just kept forgetting whenever I'd wear them. Well needless to say I've made four more all the tunic length. I really wish I could have taken pics of them on the days that I wore them but the camera and the tripod weren't home at the time. So I took them all this morning wearing a pair of jeans. But I'll describe what I wore with them to give you an idea. I sewed them all this week one for the next day to wear to work.

I made this fleece backed knit on Sunday night for Monday morning.
With this I wore a brown turtleneck & brown pants that I made in PMB3.



Then Monday night I made this beautiful Ivory knit. I bought this later at a discount fabric store and it was on sale. It's from the Liz Claiborne collection. I wore this with a black long sleeved v-neck t-shirt and a pair of black pants that I made from PMB3.


On Tuesday night I made a brown knit pullover and wore it with a olive boatneck long sleeve t-shirt and a a-line skirt that I made in PMB4.


Then on Wednesday night I made a black pullover in knit but this time I left off the collar and finished the neckline with facing. I wore this with a grey long sleeve v-neck t-shirt and some grey w/black pinstripe pants from Express.

I got lots of compliments on tunics but I received more compliments from the ivory & the black pullovers. More so from the black because it didn't look like the rest of them. Anyway I think that I'm done for now unless I can find another color I may want. Moving on to something else right now just not sure what yet.

I like these, easy to dress up or down. I've never paid that pattern any attention. I might have to try that one, great for weekend wear.
Your looks great on you!
