Epic Harry Potter themed Ugly Sweater Bliss





Retro Stitch sent me this amazing panel to create something for the current round they have open (closes on the 15th) How I sew strikes is while its on its way to me I come up with a plan to 3 and then it gets here and I come up with another plan, and then while its washing another plan and by the time its dried I typically have settled on what it will become. 🤣


 With each round I strike for I try to grow and come up with new ideas, new things to try, and push myself a little bit further. Work on my skill set with my sewing, pattern design, photography style. Always growing! I don't ever want some one to look at me and think 'oh that kid, so its gonna be a basic tee or simple dress.' I want people to see a little bit of my style and personality in everything I make. With strikes often this is the showcase for the fabric, its moment to shine and turn peoples heads to get them to purchase. I want my pieces to make people stop scrolling. 


 With that scroll stopping in mind I decided to channel my inner Molly Weasley and Luna Lovegood and come up with a look I will really enjoy rocking this Christmas. I thought about some of my favorite Harry Potter movie Christmas moments, I feel like Ron is a bit underrated honestly. He has some great lines and moments, his mom made sweater, scarf and dress robes were a bit of the inspiration for the 'ugly sweater' concept. I think Molly would be happy. 


 As much as I love Ron, I feel I am a bit more like Luna  so I used her style as inspiration as well. With those influences I give you this amazing my Mix it Up peplum top. I modified the bodice to work with the ruffles that were a nod to Ron's dress robes. I took the peplum and divided it to make a repeating pattern of different fabrics that were the house colors. 
So what do you think?
