McCall's 6992 in Merino Fleece

I make no secret of the fact that McCall's 6992 is a favourite pattern of mine.  In fact to date I have made 6 of these and this makes the 7th.

The fabric for this particular version is from The Fabric Store and is a lovely brushed merino sweat shirting.  This is such lovely weight fabric and is lovely to wear.  Making it though, I had to run the pieces in the opposite direction to normal because the stretch ran down the fabric and not across as is normal.  I won't bore you with the construction details because I have said it all before.  Most of it was made on my over locker with the cover stitch used for the hems.

I wore it a lot in Queenstown and usually with a down coat over the top because it was snowing and so cold.  I dispensed with the coat long enough to take these photos.  

I loved the historic stone quilting and wool shop in Arrowtown so had to take a photo in front of it.  I didn't buy anything in this shop but did manage to buy some merino possum wool in Wanaka.
