Hello Everyone, Today’s post is all about my new fall/winter layering piece: a poncho with tasseled hem.
The Fabric.
I selected a heavy weight wool/polyester chunky knit sweater. The fabric is a plaid print with colors perfect for the winter season. It has a one way stretch and nappy textured.
The Pattern.
I used McCalls 8241 for this project. It is a knit poncho with wide sleeve bands and options for turtleneck, crewneck, cropped, shaped or tassle hems. I made view C without the turtleneck detail. I modified it by skipping the sleeves, it would have been too thick trying to sewing multiple layers.
The Sewing Process.
This poncho sewing process was relatively easy and straightforward. I decided to omit the sleeves portion as it would have been too bulky to sew with the weight of the fabric. I made tassels using knitting yarns and attached it to the hem of the poncho. Since I had extra fabric left after cutting the poncho, I used the rest to cut a long chunky scarf.
The Styling.
For this look, I layered the poncho on top of an all black outfit. I paired it with a black sweater, leggings and completed the look with a black knee high boots. I love that the poncho is warm, cozy and can be styled multiple ways.
I can’t wait to layer my new poncho with my winter outfits this season, have a good weekend and see you on my next post!

ReplyDeleteThis is adorable.
ReplyDeletePerfect choice of fabric great work!
ReplyDeleteI like the poncho in that fabric. Funny how did I missed that pattern ? I seem to have all the others but your is perfect for the fabric. The tassel on the ends is really nice and I like the scarf you made also.
ReplyDeleteI bought that pattern, too. I have a buffalo check that I am thinking of placing on the diagonal, front and back to break up the heavy horizontal lines. How essential is the stretch on this pattern?
ReplyDeleteLovely I love this.
