Hello there, beautiful sewing people! I still don’t feel going outside since the weather is still cold. This tropical momma wants to stay inside the house, keep herself warm and sew all day long. What else will I do? Blog! Yep, blog about this lovely coral sweater knit that I have from Simply By Ti.
Here is a close up photo with the bright sunlight coming in my window. Look at those tiny blings, aren’t they tantalizing? This fabric is going to capture everybody’s attention for sure. Let’s go ahead talk more about this fabric.

Yes, it is only $4.85! I was so surprised when I saw how much it costs. Honestly, I got a little intrigued about this fabric. I was talking to myself, “Why is this fabric so cheap? Maybe it isn’t that great?” But guess what? this fabraic is really great and yet the price is budget-friendly. Take a look at these pictures. I made a hacked Janis from WBM. I added arm band and waist band, skipped the ruffled skirt and added hoodie. Can you tell that my top is under $5 ?
Look how lovely this sweater knit drapes. This is perfect for cardigans, scarf, lined dress and beach cover-ups..
