Let it Snow sweatshirt in summer hahaha

I actually wanted to make this sweatshirt last year but unfortunately my sewing machine broke down and it took ages for the store where I took it to have the time to fix it. That’s just the way it is when there’s only one sewing shop in a wide area that repairs sewing machines.
Luckily, I finally got around to making the sweatshirt.
It’s already summer now, but the next winter is sure to come 😀

I used the same pattern for the sweatshirt as for the windbreaker. I just made the pattern smaller.

DIY Windbreaker with Dots Dots Dots

Actually, I only wanted to embroider something on the front of the pocket, as with the windbreaker. But I found so many great embroidery designs for winter on Etsy that I couldn’t make up my mind and just used them all. 😀

The fabric is white fleece. I deliberately decided to use the wrong side of the fabric on the outside because I have had bad experiences with embroidering on fleece before.
But if you don’t know it, you can’t see it!

Here is the pocket with a flap. Isn’t the design cute? ❤

Here is one sleeve. I embroidered snowflakes from top to bottom on the other sleeve.

I like this design best of all. It’s quite large on the back. When you see the finished part, it could have been even bigger!

For the hood, I would have turned the design 180°. I draped the hood in such a way that you can see the embroidery in the photo. When it’s positioned normally, you can only see the upper, upside-down embroidery! When I have the hood up, it fits, but when do you put the hood on a sweater?

At least I hardly ever do. Unfortunately, I saw it too late and didn’t have enough fabric left.

Now it just has to get cold enough for me to wear the sweatshirt 😀

Do you like knitted warm sweaters? Yes? Me too.

But my problem is that when I knit it myself it doesn’t look nice. I already tried to improve it by using different needles for right and left rows. Nevertheless, I didn’t like the result very much.

For a long time I was looking for someone to knit me sweaters according to my patterns. On the internet I found people who knit sweaters as an order. But I was looking for someone nearby to discuss wool, patterns and so on.

And then I was in a shop that sold homemade things for someone. There were sewn bags and pillows AND knitted stockings.
Of course, I immediately asked if she accepted orders. That’s how I met Hanna. She lives in my city which was important for me.

Today I want to show you the fourth sweater – my favourite so far.

Anyone who has read other postings from me knows that I love applications and nautical motifs.
OK, I didn’t want applications on my sweater. So I thought, why not embroider the sweater?

I found a site on the internet where you can buy embroidery designs. https://www.lesbrodeusesparisiennes.com/en/les-/660-le-grand-abc-rivages-a-broder-au-point-de-croix.html (no, I don’t advertise them or get anything from them)

Actually it should say “LA MER” on the sweater, but Hanne said it would be much too big.

That’s why I chose the embroidery pictures WITHOUT the letters.

I love this sweater ❤ ❤ ❤
Since this week Hanna is embroidering an advent calendar for me. So for each day a Christmas motif. Then I want to sew bags out of it. Unfortunately she won’t be able to finish it this year. Too much to embroider and I still have to sew afterwards.
