Sewaholic Renfrew in Merino Wool Jersey Knit

My second Renfrew, this time in a 14 since the 12 was a little snug in the back and arms. View C with the cowl neck and 3/4 sleeves.

My recent teaching gig had me in Seattle last week and I was able to hit up some great fabric shops. This wool jersey is from Nancy's Sewing Basket. The color is Evergreen and it's one I've long had an aversion to. Why? I have no idea, but I'm learning stretching out of my color comfort zone is sometimes a good thing.

This is my first time sewing with wool and I need to look into which hand wash/soak is best for delicate clothes that can't be machine washed.

This was a quick sew, done completely on my sewing machine. My speed has improved, practice does make (closer to) perfect.

Stabilized the shoulder seams, just to be on the safe side. Love this pattern!
