McCalls 6209 - Poncho Love!

Living in Florida when the temperature drops below 65 degrees we Floridians go into hibernation.  Unless your a transplant, or a snow bird, you stay away from the chill.  I can honestly say I do not own an overcoat. I love to see my Sewing Sista's making all these beautiful coats, and I promise one day I will too.  But for right now, I only need my PONCH!  Which I love and am so glad I finally made it.  

I was so inspired by others who made it, so I went to my favorite fabric store to purchase some wool and I just could not bring myself to pay $29.00 $40.00 a yard for the wool I wanted.  So after perusing and gawking I decided to use a soft fleece.  Which I am glad I did, its just the right feel and weight.  Not too heaving but heavy enough to knock of the chill.  

Quickie Pattern Review:

Pattern:   Vogue 6209 (View B)

Sizes:     XS-S-M  I cut the M (which was too large).

Directions:   Scale of 1-10 on difficulty, I would give it a 2.

So, I am living a Poncho Life, happy sewing!
