It has been SO cold here in Oregon that I have been longing for soft, cozy, comfortable clothes - but with flair! I'm not a flannel collar shirt person, but wanted something part t-shirt, part, tunic, part loungewear to layer under vests and sweaters. I started with Vogue 9193 and our Black Speckles Cotton Flannel plus a cut of checked flannel and knit stripe from my stash. Playing and planning as I cut, I placed the checks on the bias and used the soft knit at neck and wrist. LOVE the cool drop pocket!
