Jumper Sparkle

 I decided to get into my fabric stash and make a coordinating jumper and shirt, and this is the jumper

It was made with Simplicity 9757, and, yeah.  It's pretty basic.

Double Knit Color Slub Houndstooth Jumper

 When I visited the craft thrift store in May, one of the 10¢ patterns I grabbed was Simplicity 9757 from 1996

Which I had back in the late 90s, too.  I attempted to make it once, in I believe view B, using a light pink knit with a faux quilted texture and a simple black outline, somewhat crudely-drawn Ancient Egyptian print.  My skills weren't up to that combination of fabric and pattern (or getting a correct pattern size by grading between a smaller bust size versus hip size) and I may even have tried to use bias tape to finish the neckline and arm openings?  I'm not sure if I ever even finished it, because it was going so bad.

 Things went better this time.
