downloaded it as we'd got some of the stretch bengaline recently, which is recommended for these trousers. So I actually traced and started on those and not the skirt pattern I originally planned. Those aren't finished yet though.
This wrap was a very quick project that I did in between the tracing and altering, as only one of us could use the table at once. Its not my usual sort of garment and I can't make my mind up whether its going to be super useful, or not. I'm struggling a bit with how to wear it easily. It tends to slip a bit off my shoulders, but I think it will be nice as a throw on over the top layer in the office, with black leggings or trousers and a polo neck top.
Its a very dark graphite grey with sort of white threads, I think maybe some wool or mohair in this. Its a mystery knit from Abhakan, which mum wanted rid of out of her stash and the fabric I was going to use to get that out of MYstash, wasn't quite large enough.
It only has three seams to sew, one across the back, one on either underarm to form the armhole area. The seams are pressed flat and topstitched in place, and the hem was supposed to be the same, but I turned mine in, then in again as I thought it was neater and both sides of the edge finish show.
Sorry for the lack of pictures on me. Still no camera so I have to use the tablet's camera and there is no timer available.
I hope to get the trouserrs done tomorrow sometime and possibly a knit top and a skirt cut out if all goes to plan.

Looks good. May find it works well belted with an elastci back belt.
