Guess What Time of Year It Is?

From September thru the end of January it's Hunting Season at our house.  I'm not a big hunter but I love going to the camp, taking care of the "guys".  Cooking, cleaning, watching unlimited antenna TV, read a book or two or just sit in the sun and enjoy the cooler weather!

Girl M. is a hunter.  She'll hunt with her Dad if it's not too cold.  This year we moved hunting leases from outside Opelika, AL to Lumpkin, GA.  We've seen a lot more deer tracks this year so wish them luck!

I still wear a skirt when we go hunting so to fit in a little more, and maybe even sit with Dear Hubby a day or two in a tree stand I made myself some tops.............

I thought a camouflage dress was a little too much so I made two long sleeve shirts, one short sleeve shirt and re-fashioned a neon orange sweatshirt into a cardigan!

I used my TNT cap sleeve shirt pattern for the short sleeve t-shirt.

 I used my TNT tank top pattern for the long sleeve and my sleeve sloper template.  Banded the neck and serged the bottom hem and turned up and stitched. EASY!

 I ran out of camouflage fabric to finish the back so I just used 1/2 yard of black ponte knit I had on hand.

 A purchased sweatshirt at Wal-Mart for $7.48.  I found the center front, cut up the middle, serged the two seams, turned and stitched.  I don't care for pullover sweatshirts so I just made mine into a cardigan.  The sleeves are very big on me but I can wear layers under so I just left it.

The cardigan looks wonky on the dressform, I was in a hurry to snap a few pictures before I packed up for our trip.

 I must have had this fabric for a while, it was folded inside out so I never saw the camouflage, just the grey/white backing.  I found it while looking for something else!

 I used 1/2 yard of the ponte knit fabric for the back of one of the long sleeve t-shirts.

The shirts ended up costing me $3.97 each.  That's a pretty good deal!

I'm off to sit in a shoot house and read a book for a few days!

Until next time.......................
