Thanks for the details. I am also planning to buy the <a href="https://www.carbon38.com/shop-all-activewear" rel="nofollow">workout gear</a> for my yoga sessions and would like to invest in such cool apparels.

Could I please ask how much yardage your shortened version used? I love the top Gillian made but think it would be too hot. A cardigan style is perfect. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration.

I just love the softer colors on you. What a versatile "topper", perfect in many fabrics - and that fabric is exquisite. I am so bummed that it is sold out or I woud have had some on order today. Love to see you with the little ones too - even one who is darting away. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a huge fan of Blackbird fabrics (probably too enthusiastically so if truth be told) and order from Caroline often. I have for about 2 years now - she's just across the strait from me (I'm in Victoria BC and she's in Vancouver) so I usually see it in the mailbox within a couple of days. Her fabrics never disappoint and the prices are always fair. Have you listened to her and Helen's (of Helen's Closet) podcast? Love to Sew? It's fabulous :)PsychicSewerKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911914507722968930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-28536310934121600652018-01-31T09:11:41.105-05:002018-01-31T09:11:41.105-05:00Beautiful cardigan!Beautiful cardigan!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960310379822122045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-71435677136826830152018-01-31T07:17:41.081-05:002018-01-31T07:17:41.081-05:00Carolyn, the cardigan is stunning, and the Blackbi...Carolyn, the cardigan is stunning, and the Blackbird fabric is gorgeous!
