I bought The Canvas Jacket pattern by Wardrobe By Me a while ago and thought this would look great in this gifted Robert Kaufman Brushed Cotton Flannel from Minerva.
Their brushed cotton flannel fabrics can be found here.

A while ago, I saw a cross over jumper advertised online but it was a US site and, at the time, I couldn’t find anything similar in the UK. I was looking through the DIBY site (Do It better Yourself www.doitbetteryourself.club/ ) and saw the exact style I had been looking for - The Cecilia Sweater.

I received some beautiful viscose challis fabric from Minerva in navy with sand-coloured flowers. As usual with viscose fabric it has a lovely drape & movement without being too thin and is perfect for the summer. It is non stretch & smooth to the touch with a matte finish. I like fabrics with small flowers that don’t have an obvious pattern direction and, for me personally, feel they can be worn more casually with pumps and a denim jacket but also dressed up should the occasion arise.
