#57 - Peter Pan



Made For: Little Man

Pattern: Simplicity 9862

Fabric: Fleece

Purchased at: JoAnns

Notes: Shortened the arms and legs by at least an inch. Didn't use interfacing on the collar. Forgot to attach the black belt. Nixed the soles on the feet, to allow for sneakers. Favorite quote: "I can fly! I can fly!"

#56 - Tinkerbell



Made For: Lila

Pattern: Simplicity 9862

Fabric: Fleece

Purchased at: JoAnns

Notes: Shortened the arms and legs by at least an inch. Re-shaped the boob line into curves, as opposed to points (yuck!). Added a decorative stitch along the boob line. Wings need to be stiffer.

#55 - LiuVee Vest



Made For: Me

Pattern: Based on Ann Budd's basic v-neck sweater pattern. I just didn't do the sleeves, and picked up stitches around the arm hole and worked a small band of ribbing.

Yarn: Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in Jewel

Purchased from: Christine's stash sale for a bargain basement price

Notes: Added width at the waist and hip, and slowly tapered back to the suggested chest size. Fits PERFECTLY and I should use these #s for every other sweater for all eternity.
